Well, that really has a savior tone, one that I am guessing would make
Bukowski sick. Anyway, I don't see his suffering that way, but I do agree
he is one of our great poets.

If this is the first time you have read anything of Bukowski, this is only
the tip of his vast iceberg. I have always been a poor reader-dyslexia-and
Bukowski is very healing. He suffered so that we could see and live more
clearly. He is a great German-American classical artist. Read all of
Bukowski and you'll know why so many love him.

Bukowski is one of the very best poets, and this is one of his very best
poems. Truer words are hard to find.

This is one of the greatest American poems ever written.

This poem expresses the weak, vunerable side of the self, Bukowski has
perfectly embodied our accumalation of inhibitions into the symbol of the
bluebird which made such an impression upon me that I tattooed a bluebird
behind my ear to remind me of the need to recognize that aspect of myself
and comemerate Bukowskis truth.

nicely said fisher. but there's something painful about reading this poem.
usually he's so accepting of his ill fate. but here, he's juxtaposing it
with that quiet desperation. the metaphor gets the feeling across well.

This is bittersweet for me. I relate to what he's saying here. But when you
love someone who, in essence, has the same tragedy, then that is truly
tragic.

We all have some "bluebird" in us. A decision is made at some point in life
if we should allow it to be heard, or at least allow a flash of a feather
to be seen, if only briefly.

I like his poem How is your heart? - Much better.
