Being an a*s hole is an art statement if you're a poet. Well, Yeah. Definitely. Another honest and wonderfully insightful write. It's insightful for the same reason it's honest. You just write whatever you feel like writing and I like that.
I like how random this was. "I wrote a poem/It was a worthless piece of crap" Humor and serious musing...definitely enjoyable. I like poetry like this that is not conventional
I believe whether it is a statement of art or being an a*****e depends solely on how famous you are: I'm sure Bukowski fans would ask themselves that as well, whether he actually had a talent or was just an a*****e. The fans take it as an art statement as well, despite having a low opinion of the action . . . Again, you've expressed yourself well, well done

He was either shitfaced or getting fired from jobs for being s**t faced through the whole thing. It was easy enough to read though so I guess he was a decent writer. Christ Hemingway was plastered throughout his entire career and he's one of the greats.

I mean, "our educational system tells us we can all be big-a*s winners, but it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides, or the terror of one person, aching in one place, alone, untouched, unspoken to, watering a plant," was quite amazing, if I do say so myself.
I write just for the hell of it
A way to spend some time
Blurting out in cyber space
Whatever's on my mind
Maybe funny maybe tragic
Emotional and raw
