After reading the few poems I have, I can see why you love him. I’m becoming a fan, too. “I don’t think I can pay that price again.”
Although, I may have to revise my theory about his poems being realistic. “I don’t think I can pay that price again” is raw romantic–someone who was a romantic but got hurt too much.
I do not think it is poisonous or filled with venom. The early cynics eschewed wealth and preached moderation. Later cynics were just people who had lost faith in the motives of their fellow humans.

Complaint on Viewing Max’s Latest Blog Photo or I’m in the Habit of Seeing Sexy Nuns:
Blossoms are quite nice
But, can I give you advice?
Asian art is pretty.
However,
When I do Haiku
And get sweet linkage from you—
Show Dame Sans Merci?
JanieBelle made me write this. She wants more nun photos!
(Thanks for the link, Max! Are you a fan of Keats? Sorry about the rhyming haiku’s. They made me laugh.)
Jeesh, everyone wants the sexy nun outfit.
I am more a Bukowski fan than a Keats fan.
That makes sense I’m romantic and you are a realist.
And The Moon And The Stars And The World
Long walks at night–
that’s what good for the soul:
peeking into windows
watching tired housewives
trying to fight off
their beer-maddened husbands
I hadn’t heard of him before (Oh shame!) so I went looking. This one made me chuckle.
Oh well this is my favorite bukowski poem :

That is from Love is a Dog From Hell.
I do not really love his novels, but I sure love his poetry.

Well he is not a realist. He is a cynic. Cynics are romantics who have had their hearts broken too hard. But once they were more romantic than anyone.
I never liked the word cynic. It is poisonlike–filled with venom.
