is now a drowned wreck.

Its been
cheapened by soft,
safe people
who cannot write
with a heart forged in lava,

When they never fell
into the volcano
and lived to tell about it.

a second rejected poem written for the Charles Bukowski Anthology. Two of my poems were accepted, this is one of the failures..figured I'd post it here....the idea was to honor the novelist/poet, use him as the subject or let the audience know how he has affected you personally
