I love Rimbaud too, though.

I think some of my poems are semi-surrealist.  I'm not sure.

I think I've never written a poem.

Jon, check out more Vonnegut.  Cat's Cradle is fantastic but you need more (I almost wrote MOAR!).

You have a cat avatar, it's OK to revert to lolspeak.

I love that, surrealism. Éluard's poems are even dadaists at moments.
Un mot dur, for example. Translated roughly it'd be something like :
 
The small streets are knives
The floor is fishes
Every poet knows how to draw
Sitting at dawn, sleeping somewhere else
 
It's not a perfect translation though.

I write like Vonnegut but I've never read anything of his.

Erm...here's the Vonnegut I have so far (in no particular order):
Jailbird
Deadeye Dick
Man Without a Country
Slaughterhouse Five
Cat's Cradle
Slapstick
Breakfast of Champions
Timequake
Player Piano

So I guess I already have more than Cat's Cradle.

Edit: I also have Bagombo Snuff Box.

Out of those, though, which have you read?  You have more Vonnegut than me, damn you!

And Matt, you write nothing like Kurt Vonnegut. LOL
