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 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
