The same seller's Aaliyah and Marilyn Monroe pieces look off to me as well.

hahaha you're funny

for me there is NO WAY I'm commenting on a Bruce Lee

He would be in my top 10 list for future buys, but my opinion is pure speculation.

But for you, I will

So here goes...ready?

I can't see the sig up close, but it at least resembles the right form.

I don't know anything about his hand writing

I didn't know Bruce was a poet and if this is real, then Im guessing worth 10K and probably closer to 20K

Very interesting. There are enough samples available of his handwriting where someone could piece together an entire poem from scratch like those ridiculous random letters you see in the movies where every word is a different clipping from a magazine or newspaper. It can be laid out digitally, word by word, and then traced on to a final sheet of paper. A long, painstaking, and likely multi-day process, but one that could be worth it for that kind of money.

Here I am! Was looking at that 6 page letter handwritten by Bruce on Gung fu. What Appleton said is correct. Just within those 6 pages, there are enough samples of each of Bruce's lettering to cover every instance; when a letter starts a word, is interconnected within a word, or ends a word, for someone to cobble this poem together using that as a blueprint. And after reading that 6 page treatise, that's what this poem looks like. As though the writing is cobbled together. As though the letters themselves are composed as well as the poem!
