My most poignant and treasured Christmas gift, given to me by my mother, was a collection of my poetry journals, gone missing (after loaning them to a friend to read) ... tracked down, recovered and presented back to me.

next time take my left arm or a fifty but not my poems: I'm not Shakespeare but sometime simply there won't be any more, abstract or otherwise; there'll always be mony and whores and drunkards down to the last bomb, A very nice poem. Thank you poet.

Sometimes you forget a poem as fast as you wrote it.

I can't imagine how I will feel if someone stole my poetry booklet. I am happy to only imagine and not to experience it

Buk! Although I admit not being an avid accolador of your verse...I like this...Can ya' 'ere me now, Buk? ! I said, I LIKE THIS PARTICULAR POEM OF YOURS...Furthermore, if this be a true life storyline, I owe ya more reads as I thought I knew a good deal 'bout your life, but never knew 'bout the hijacking uv yer' quillings....BTW: Last 3 lines, unfortunately...all too true...10-4 Buk! ~FjR~

from the heart and guts.the only poem i've ever given a 10 to on here.And the image of God crossing his legs and lamenting the lack of poetry, is one that will live with me and very apt.

Stealing poetry is the same as destroying it, it's as much a part of you as anything else. An great poem, brilliantly written.
