    I think that's what makes or breaks a poem. that inspiration drives you to write and, if you have the voice to reach the masses or even just a voice to reach the inner person in each of us, your poem will be read and loved.

    people like GaryCGibson are only defending themselves. they are offended by bukowski's words and the idea that anyone could write effortlessly and be so widely admired. perhaps even offended at the thought that there are people that are BORN to write poetry.

    the intellectual will always find some reason to demean the intuitive. it's the way it's always been.
