I, for one, I'm glad you write poetry Richard! And no, it has nothing to do with gender, it's just as you said - being yourself. Your work is a reflection of you,in other words, it is amazing. Keep writing!

Thinking of all the poets that are in PS that we never get to read...it is amazing.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/8/2012 9:51:00 PM

As for me I am pleased we have connected through our writing. It is amazing when you consider not all that long ago it would not have been possible. I feel blessed by our communication.

Lovely words uttered from a great man, I love this one, Be whoever we want to be is an option, but receiving self-existence is a must and in your case it's not a must but gifted :)- Hug, Yanny

A man in my eyes is one who can express himself and externalise feelings, thoughts and emotions. A man who can write poetry just adds another notch to the quality of man....so write until your heart is content and then some more :) - Shaz

Richard; Your poem is great and yes - real men do write the best poetry. In life we do what makes us feel good. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

i think many more men wrote then women, at least from what i remember in history class so long ago...i often wished i had someone in my life that shared my passion for writing...glad the internet can bring us poets together! Good write!

Unfortunately women were not allowed to be educated so that limited their opportunity for writing.

‡ Shakespeare May Have Pondered The Very Same Question Himself Once, Sweet Precious Richard. Afore Opening The Poetic Door A Bit Wider Unto Those Gentlemen As Yourself Whom Would One Day Also Aspire As Unto Such A Moment In Revealing, Their Deepest Heart's. Sooo Keep Dipping The Quill Amid Its Endless Hues. Happy Holidays. Love Always, Rachel *

Thanks Rachel, always a pleasure to hear from you.

its a good job men write poetry, or what would we woman have to enjoy men rarely say what they really mean, but they can tell us in verse. lol xx

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/18/2012 5:04:00 PM

Good point!

Okay... we think and write so much alike, it's uncanny! I could have written this... have often posed the same question to myself arriving at a similar conclusion! Must be a Canadian thing!

Lol, you are too funny. What is a real man anyway? What can't they do and what can they do? Who determines that? One just has to do what is right for him/her. Besides, with no sharing this world will be a dull place.

Interesting... now that you mention it, it does seem like there is a preponderance of poetesses on PS... But I'm happy to see that you are suppoting the other side! Terry Great poem...)

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/18/2012 5:08:00 PM

That's okay, I have always enjoyed the company of women. I have enjoyed my interaction with the gentlemen I have connected with on the Soup as well. Thanks for commenting Terry.

Your right to be so assertive about men writing poems! It makes this hard world much easy to live in. Powerful message. Aways asking questions, right! I love it!:) Blessings, Hanitra
