The photograph of you on the north wall of the back room of bar Night Magic has impressed me so, dear Leonard, that I wonder, "How many beautiful losers has it seduced?" You are simply beautiful... the way you hold your brow standing there in the company of Lenin and Nietzsche. ----------------- ------------ ..(C) 1981/2011 Spiros Zafiris ..from Midnight Magic (1981) -------------------------- |

You wonder well, dear Spiros. I guess he has seduced many! I have not read Cohen's book myself, maybe I should ... M |

I am going to take a very long shot..Is it Leonard Cohen that you are speaking of in this poem? |

I spent a few moments Friday to see to whom you might be referring; my googled site took me to unexpected places... like your poems do, with such polite invitation. And I never returned with a thank you...I enjoyed all of the levels to which you lead me.  |

.. thank you all for reading/commenting ..Margherita..you are forever kind..read Leonard's "Flowers For Hitler"--much energy or his Collected Poems (i don't know how many versions are out there) ice..i can only say maybe you should purchase a lottery ticket.. ..Sunshine..did i ever tell you, if it hadn't been for Leonard, i would have never self-published my first book, Very Personal--he helped me in many ways--he helped other poets too--very generous man.. ..spiros ---------- ------- |
