Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Guys Night Out

*Image of Night Out Ideas by S.CA

Guys Night Out 

We’re going to see a show on Broadway,
About the navy called “Anchors Aweigh,”
A high-priced meal was too much, a cliche,
So we settled for a sidewalk cafe,
Listening to street bands, playing reggae,
Our waitress came with a varied entree,
Great meal, as well as the service, per se,
We gave a tip and a note to convey,
The show waits; we’re hoping there’s no ballet.

Anisha Dutta December 5, 2025 at 6:32 AM Type of Monorhyme from beginning to end is my most favourite type of poetry. Have Good Days William Kelii Kekaula December 5, 2025 at 10:11 AM Makes it truly authentic.

Reason A. Poteet November 2, 2022 at 4:12 AM Delightful, William. Love your mono-rhyme form which inspires creativity and extensive effort on the part of the writer. An energetic piece and I agree with the part about ballet.

Darlene De Beaulieu August 30, 2022 at 12:03 PM Hello William, well i hope you and the guys had a wonderful time. There is nothing wrong with ballet. Aloha! Darlene William Kelii Kekaula August 31, 2022 at 3:27 PM A blessed, hopefully, cooler than the teasingly Indian Summer that beats on us now, neighbors returned from the beach, also teased in passing, Ugh! Aloha Darlene. Darlene De Beaulieu August 31, 2022 at 7:00 AM Hello William, I do like your title. Aloha! Darlene William Kelii Kekaula August 30, 2022 at 6:46 PM My poem, as written, associated with the image, entails the essence of the manly-man stereotypes who've redirected their setting to be set apart from men who appreciate the arts, ballet, acting, painting, music, etc. I drew their aspects of navy o'er Broadway, cafe o'er gourmet, reggae o'er opera, and dislike for ballet because of their diverse nature male bravado. William Kelii Kekaula August 30, 2022 at 6:45 PM It bears out the reasoning for my title "Guys Night Out," as opposed to "Gentlemen Night Out," for that was the basis for my quill's intent. Thank you Darlene, Darlene De Beaulieu August 30, 2022 at 3:10 PM Hello William, you know there are men that take ballet to. It is not just for ladies. Right when not with the wife thes men choose the drink. Aloha! Darlene William Kelii Kekaula August 30, 2022 at 12:16 PM Yes, true if their wives had accompanied them, but guys with limited knowledge would choose drink night o'er ballet anytime, a sad but real scenario--though we wish otherwise. Thank you Darlene, Aloha~William
