A Radio With Guts Comments

Unconventional style of writing.

3) The tennisplayer in my tennisclub died of liver cerosis, most alcoholics die of this disease. Very sad.

Despite his drunkeness CB could write attractive and lovely poems, most melancholic, but his poems are fascinating!

Constantly being drunk, a person can write poems though, like the tennis player in my tennisclub played tennis like in a normal state. I have the idea that CB also did like that.

Charles Bukowski was most of the time constantly drunk, I must conclude he of course could write a simple poem with an easy story and to be noticed here, the content of this poem is attractive. This poem is in its being modest, very fascinating. I knew once a tennisplaer in my tennis club

Lol. A typical drunk

Nothing idealistic here. It is all about a common who is driven more by his instinct than by his brain. Thanks for the poem being shared.

An innocent alcoholic? Not much of trouble had he created, instead wrote a nice poem when drunk, or about his drunkenness.

A fine example of modern poem it is indeed! Thanks for sharing here!

Fascinating poem by Charles Bukowski! What an honest description of a drunken man throwing a radio out through the window, and the radio still playing music! The exceptional nature, sensitivity and variety of his topics (e.g. A Smile To Remember) are incomparable! My Favourite Poet!

CONGRATULATIONS on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. To the poet's closest descendants. May he rest in peace. Amen..

I've enjoyed so much this famous poem about his being an alcoholist. That Radio with GUTS is of course kept in a Special Home for his special attributes, the Attributes of a famous Poet Charles Bukowski. I have known an excellent tennis player who daily drinks all day long till he died all of a sudden one day, as with all alcoholists, .Avon

Like the famous poet Bukowski, this alcoholist in Mumbai, India, drinks all day long, and UNLIKE Bukowski, this alcoholist is stalking all innocent women all the time, and is constantly LYING. Wished he were like Bukowski, then no one will be bullied but every one can read his poems. But he is not a poet nor a psychologist as he told he is.

The music of life still plays on?

That constant bullier on PH is constantly LYING because then he got money from the church where he lives in Mumbay Bay. He constantly lies only for the sake of drinking. He is a heavy alcoholist. I am sure he is the devil in own being, devils can have different names, like his is AVON DASH and still resides in MUMBAI in India. God IS.

Most fascinating to read than to live with under one roof. His being drunk is that he had always been pretty to his woman, and we call this a GOOD DRINKER, of course he IS an alcoholic, every day he is drunk, like that Bullier here on PH who lives in Mumbay Bay and uses money from the church while this church is collecting for the orphans in the orphanage. This drunkard, a heavy alcoholic, his name is AVON DASH and he is still there.

Bukowski and his poems, and the naked woman and the broken window and the RADIO with GUTS, all used as figures in his poems while he was sober. When he got drunk, the radio was thrown out of the window and the window glass was broken each time he got drunk. This poem is from his sane period, methinks. Most Fascinating

music plays a heart rhythm for the love the woman the Radio gifts all in one moment.........! ///

The garden in her bathing suit! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
