Some Men Feel

They
hide well, the deepest
part

but,

some men, feel…

beyond romance, beyond
daily

they feel

it is their grumbling times
when they think we
WE
are one of the them…

and they forget…

some Men feel…

and just let go…

into walls
into arguments
sometimes, into faces…

some just

let go

others…well, they…hold it in…

they…

become

Poets.

Sunshine,
This, my dear Poetess, is one of the most insightful
true poems about men... Love it!

Love it...though have to admit it sure describes a number of "women" I've met too, in a number of respects. Fits an awful lot of men though!!

interesting thoughts on the causality of 'poets'!

fine writing!

[I can only attest to it being a definitive  
  'curse' to be a 'poet'/Romanticist' amid
   the "Runaway American Dream"]

Indeed "some men feel" and hold those feelings in untill they almost explode..

And then let out in gasps, deep feelings about what life has shown them

And write those rants down in organized stanzas they call poetry.

An excellent poem, Sunny

Evviva! Thank God for those men who feel, indeed, dear Karilea, and when they write it down it's just a blessing.

Absolutely lovely.

I agree with Margherita... I'm so grateful for those who pour their feelings into words. *S*

Love this....I too am blessed that some men feel through their pens

Honeybee, you left out the "i".

Male poets hold it.....ok, I can go along with that. Merry Christmas, sunshine!
