@filthysock Yeah, I think you’re right, actually. Weird. And thanks for not calling me an asshole...or something like that.

then I think you took the poem to hard to the heart... I think more than anything else, he tries to paint a picture of how writing comes out of HIM...

Where did Bukowski write this...?

What's the name of the piano piece?

As much as I like charles Bukowski's writing. This poem is complete bollocks. He only wrote himself because he was a selfish, good-for-nothing lazy slob that could not be assed to do anything else. Theres many successful writers that have 'writers block', that find writing frustrating when it doesn't come 'unasked out of the heart, and your mind and your mouth and your gut'. What a bunch of pretentious shite. His writings best when talking about how shit and low his life is!

ex fan of Bukowski. This poem just made that decision final.

I don't know if it's been pointed out by now, but this is an actual poem...

@AdmiralPooarms And the fact that you need proove to recognize a genius shows that you have exactly no Idea of what a genius really is
What a perfect statement. It has to come unasked, from deep within your soul. It has to come from your passion and from your pain. I agree with Bukowski, you cannot force it...either you can write or you can't. No amount of education, even the best Universities will ever change that.

Yep. You're right. It must come from the heart and "you cannot force it."

Its just Bukowski talking. But it is great advice to anyone who would seek to communicate.
