Curtain Comments

Bukowski was sometimes mad as a hatter... But the rest of the time a genius.

Yup it entertains many but sometimes you may irked by it. However, poet ideas swiftly drift floating on the air..

trust me on this, the world and its peoples and its artful entertainment has done very little for me, only to me. a very fine poem. tony

The best thing about this poem is when the curtains draw to a close.

still, let them enjoy one another, it will keep them from my door and for this, my own thunderous accolade...... brilliant concluding. It is on of the beautiful poem of Charles Bukowski.

Incisive critique of 'show business' and all its ghastly platitudes; courtesy of the delightfully cynical Charles Bukowski..

I have truly many of the same sentiments to this white supremacist theater called Broadway.

I have not seen this particular musical but I know if I had that I wouldn't have been able to bear it, it would have sickened me............beautiful exrpession

Appreciation accorded to a seemingly most successful musicals in spite of disinterest in such events since it is felt that it gives happiness to music lovers. A democratic view point, thus, well deserved modern poem of the day.

I agree with his thoughts about a long-running musical, which has finally come to an end. I have no time for movies in cinemas or stage musicals. I much prefer to watch my own music DVDs at home alone. Modern stage musicals are seriously boring. I like his phrase, 'trust me on this'.

The ending says it all! He is the master!

the final curtain on one of the longest running musicals ever, ..// finest poem penned

I wonder what Mr Bukowski would have thought of so called entertainment on Saturday evenings here in the U.K.? ! I reckon he would have destroyed his T.V! I wholeheartedly agree with the cynical tone of this poem.

As usual Bukowski gets the bottom of the and the core of the matter in his usual terse way The poem is almost telling the reader to go away Great write

Such a great poem by Charles Bukowski.....................

still, let them enjoy one another, it will keep them from my door and for this, my own thunderous accolade.....so touching and impressive ending. A beautiful poem so nicely executed.

A thankful poem of being left alone by the dragon's fire? ......penned well

To bear it! Curtain. Thanks for sharing.

the image of parting and detachment from the world's insipid activities in this poem is depicted astutely.// great

A polite disagreement..indeed a good poem- 10
