Nice poem Arron. Is Bukowski your favourite poet?

Thanks, Henry :) Actually, not really in fact, it’s even hard to say which one would be my favorite as they are many styles that i like, from Blake to Poe to Rimbaud,…. I’m hesitating between Poe and Baudelaire. What about yours?

I don't either, I just write in a style that I would say is mine. However, you have introduced me to some poets that I haven't heard of, which is a good thing. So, I have just been reading their stuff. But, I really do try and stay away from reading too many poets, as I don't want to be influenced by them.

Thanks, Rea :) I invite you to read the one that will be available on Friday at 8PM (CET), as to me, it's the one that comes closest to Bukowski out of the three!

He's a stray and they come with lots of scratching so you should be careful just as much as you should have fun.... I love your poetry style it's very unconventional and I love unconventional ❤️

I'm Ral, one of my best friends recommended your poetry. But now I would love to be friends with you. I subscribed too.
