    Say, that is a very good haiku. Do you ever write poetry?

    I do a little of a lot of things.

    succinctness is my thing.

    brevity is the soul of wit.

    Well, your haiku was a very good one. Intelligence leads its hand and its magnificent powers to the writing of good poetry.
    I've been composing serious poetry since age 17. I actually started at age 15 but I do not count those first 2 years because it was not yet a true passion with me.
    So that makes my serious writing 52 years long now since I am now 69 years old . God bless.

    that's awesome.

    i've written way too many words on forums over that last 25 years. i used to be the most neoconny globalist dipshit on the internet under a previous name. now im trying to undo the damage.

    I love the written word.

    not that it matters much but have you ever sold any writing for demon money?

    No not yet I have not. But I have had several poets that have sold their works for money and been in print tell me that a great many of my poems are good enough to sell. And a retired publisher has been urging me to do my own book. She has been telling me that for 12 years now. I just never get around to selecting poems from my well over 3,000 poems and actually doing it. I just may end up doing that this year. God bless.

    I love charles bukowski

    there are worse things than
    being alone
    but it often takes decades
    to realize this
    and most often
    when you do
    it's too late
    and there's nothing worse
    than
    too late.
    Charles Bukowski

    I am a great fan of Bukowski, although many poets consider his poetry rude and crude- it is not says I.
    He was down to earth and did present his poetry=== just about like he lived.
    His poems present the darker side of life. Taverns, prostitutes, gambling , whoring, drinking etc. The way he lived.
    He had truly brill8iant mind..... --Tyr

    The Genius Of The Crowd



    there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
    human being to supply any given army on any given day

    and the best at murder are those who preach against it
    and the best at hate are those who preach love
    and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

    those who preach god, need god
    those who preach peace do not have peace
    those who preach peace do not have love

    beware the preachers
    beware the knowers
    beware those who are always reading books
    beware those who either detest poverty
    or are proud of it
    beware those quick to praise
    for they need praise in return
    beware those who are quick to censor
    they are afraid of what they do not know
    beware those who seek constant crowds for
    they are nothing alone
    beware the average man the average woman
    beware their love, their love is average
    seeks average

    but there is genius in their hatred
    there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
    to kill anybody
    not wanting solitude
    not understanding solitude
    they will attempt to destroy anything
    that differs from their own
    not being able to create art
    they will not understand art
    they will consider their failure as creators
    only as a failure of the world
    not being able to love fully
    they will believe your love incomplete
    and then they will hate you
    and their hatred will be perfect

    like a shining diamond
    like a knife
    like a mountain
    like a tiger
    like hemlock

    their finest art

    Correct poetry exposes bullshit. Any poet that does not exposes the basic nature of mankind as hate and lie is not doing his job very well. imho.
    Bukowski lived his life exactly the way he wanted too live it. And truth is he suffered greatly for that act of rebellion. His poetry to me is real, in its grittiness, in its dirty themes and animalistic urges. To me, he rejected most of mankind/world and its principles because they are lies. And yes, he had a truly brilliant mind. -Tyr
