Praying to Bukowski
I drank all my available liquor in my cabinet
Then I quit drinking for 3 weeks
I don't have an alcohol problem
Just wanted to lose a few pounds
Truth is I didn't miss the booze
Started exercising again
Felt some clarity in my brain pocket
Problem was, I missed myself
That little bit of libation cheered my soul
Took the edge off work which is stressful and annoying
Friday night I poured 3 fingers of Basil Hayden's neat
Eased back in my living room and sipped slow
Felt the beautiful fire and glow
At peace with my whiskey
Back to an old friend
Still exercising
Still stressed out
Feeling like me again
Writing dirty poems
Praying to Bukowski
Lusting in my erotic wonderland
Taking time out to enjoy
Spiritual gospel of whiskey
I don't have an alcohol problem
I said that already didn't I
You've got beautiful eyes, you know ?

the languorous line at the end knots it up real neat, like the whiskey.
Charles always hangs out at that bar in some other place,
he's happy there, I guess...

Bukowski and e.e. ❣️
"Find what you love and let it kill you.” – Charles Bukowski
"She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still" e.e.
Nice morning read
Big like? 😉

Re: Re. Praying to Bukowski
BIG LIKE is my trademark or Like, kinda depends on mood and poem.
Was Bukowski a good writer ?
I liked a few of his novels, read some poetry, is anybody a good poet ?
What makes a good poet ?
My take on Bukowski is simple. He never stopped writing.
Constant content flow. No pisssing and moaning about writers block.
Tank always full.
I'm kinda that way. There's always something or someone to write about. And it's DUP so not many rules.
I've never read much ee Cummings. I like the minimalism aspect and lower case ...
Good morning

I bought a best of ee on ebay and it never arrived. Lost in mail or some reason. I could just Google him but I like the physical aspect of holding a book on my hands. Old school
Thx on my style. It's just direct and breaking rules
