2 Flies Comments

The flies are angry bits of life; why are they so angry? it seems they want more, it seems almost as if they are angry that they are flies; it is not my fault; I sit in the room with them and they taunt me----Fabulous poem!

What a metaphorical poem about the little irritants of life bent upon ruining a day!

Incredible how you have transformed the fly 🪰 into a captivating tale.

Very nice Congratulations to you

Well penned...

So ARE flies, very annoying ones! Cobgrats with the Modern Poem Of The Day!

F’ing AwEsOmE. I hate flies.

What a great poem the eldest couldn't do that

So nice. The only poet really. Nothing else comes close...

Bukowski is the poet. The rest make me think of uzis

Bukowski is the poet. The rest are like greeting cards from hell

From a small incident a wonderful poem created and it is too nice.

This is not a poem. This is a decent short story masquerading as a poem. Allow me to write a more poem like representation: two flies buzzing, circling, Rest! while Two Eye reads a page Two Wings hum and do their best to avoid sudden squalls of rage a rhythmic circling of restless souls locked in an eternal buzzing gyre falling, kicking, to the bottom of the Well seeking solace sought in something higher? Each carefully bereft of a story to s(t) ell

This IS Bukowsi! ! A plain common people poet. I really enjoy his writing.

I for one really enjoyed the microscopic reality of this and the unique angles suggested...

Who rates the top 500? Bukowski ahead of Yeats is nonsense. He just got drunk and ran from the mouth (pen) !
