Welcome to my World of "Manly" Poetry in Poetry Art Form. Hope you come to enjoy this Art Form...as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

Manly Poetry Man's "Ever-Present" Poetic-"able" Declaration to you:

*********************************************************************************************************************

Poems: Get a bad rap...usually considered flowery, soft, artsy, etc. Maybe...some of that is true. But...put in the right context...Poems can get a point across with underlying stealth and quiet intelligence. Perhaps... even better than the average writings we see daily. This is Manly Poetry Man's Quest. To Boldly Go Where No Poetry Man Has Gone Before and...Boldy Write Some New Poems...!?! Sometimes Poems need to have their energy harnessed and then put on display.

Being able to write down Rhymes has always been something I just did...like some folks scribble on paper. Poetry is a natural extension of that. As I mentioned in the above...I feel like most people have the notion that Poetry is all flowery, soft, artsy,etc. Hence...Mr. Manly Poetry Man has arrived to show the world that: "Words come at you Everyday; Poems are just a little more organized in what they have to say...and can be done in a Manly Way" !

In humblest regards then...May I present to you... "Manly Poetry".

Wondered Why I Wandered...?

Travel from the place you know…Search for something new… Find a world waiting for you…different from all you knew. Find that distant horizon…Where the Sun still sets in front of you. Wander to the places you have dreamed...make all your dreams come true. Have you wondered…where you wandered?

  Something Silly and Just For Fun Poem...

  8 months ago

  Is Poetry Art? The question above has been asked "out-loud" here on Hub Pages. It stands to wonder sometimes...What is Art? I once saw a bumper sticker on the back of a car driving along in what I would call an "Artsy" part of my town. It read: "An Artist should not have to apologize for his Art"....
