Bio
My memoir, "The Delivery Guy," which takes you from that time where I was an LSD laden, alcohol-soaked music writer poet rock star wanna be, to that time where I was a sober father sitting in the Little League bleachers watching my son grow up as he ran the bases. This book will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and then it will make you laugh again. It is for sale at: http://stores.lulu.com/mikelkpoet And, I am available for free on facebook, where I keep a Daily K Journal in Notes. Simply put mikelkpoet in your FaceBook search mechanism. Because I know that you will ask: I write about my dogs, Morisson and Bundy, my cats, Kobain and Jaggar, and my turtles, Prynce and Rue Paul, a lot. My writing is about fifty percent poetry and fifty percent memoir-ish type thangs. I am finishing up a memoir, now, called, "Baking Banana Bread From Scratch." It is sure to give David Sedaris, and Augusten Burroughs a run for their ratings.

The Daily K: Dream Until...

I had an anxious dream last night, where in I was, once again, involved with a fellow with whom our egos, and our fists, had clashed over the years. Through our drunken experiences together, both of us came to see each other not as a friend, but as a threat toRead full post »

My dog is a barker: The Daily K

My dog, Bundy, is a barker. He barks when people walk by our house; he barks when people walking their dogs walk past our place. He barks at the porch door, waiting for me to open the door, so that he can go for a walk.His barking irritates me.

Bundy is not going to let me enjoy this coffee; the first coffee that I have bought at a coffee shop in months. Bundy is going to strain at his leash, and whine, the entire time that I sit here.

The Daily K: "Sex is interesting."

“Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement.”--Charles Bukowski, Poet

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotte
