Did you know it was Poetry Month? This link from Ron Taylor in a message to one of the communities at Orkut.
The City of New York and The New York Times invite you to join us on April 30, 2004 for Poem in Your Pocket Day. April is National Poetry month and there is no better way to culminate this tradition than a citywide celebration of poetry and literacy. New Yorkers are encouraged to carry a poem in their pocket and share it with friends, family, coworkers and classmates. Public schools throughout the five boroughs will highlight poetry on this day through readings, poetry workshops and specifically designed lesson plans. Tuck a poem in your pocket and see what surprises may come your way. What will your poem be?Ron's suggestion? That bloggers celebrate in their own way- by featuring a favorite poem on April 30th along with a link to the author.
I think I can narrow it down to one in a few days.

Bukowski is a strange evocative bird.
Check out "Barfly", a movie somewhat based on him.
