8 Count Comments

This poem will age well. In 100 years from now a person will STILL lol at this one.

A highly relatable experience.

Blunter than a broken pencil....Sillier than a bag full of hammers...So fantastically Charles Bukowski.... there was only 1 of him.

And the bird watching produced this POD. What brilliance!

Amusing expression. Beautiful poem. Well deserved as modern poem of the POD.

An innovative value addition with the fantastic flight of imagery. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.

Watching the birds! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

How expressive in a few words!

Excellent poetic expression as also observation and reaction to it.

My comment appears to have been censored. On a poetry site? ? ?

A long-time fan of Bukowski, I first read this poem many, many years ago. I only thought of it today because I inadvertently wrote the sentence just thought I'd let you know, in a letter to a friend. It was to find 8 Count in it's entirety here.

This poem is weird. I like it.

Looks like writer's block. While he spent the full 8 couint on the canvas many times, the body of his work gives the rest of us inspiration to keep punching.

I love his honesty and bluntness. As sad as the message may be at times, his writing often seems to include an element of humor.

Ha, you have to appreciate his blunt honesty, if nothing else. I like this one.

it's so true it's physically painful.

Thanks for this one, Charles. Boy - I know how it feels.
