Guys Night Out

Listen to poem:

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.

Reason A. Poteet Date: 11/2/2022 4:12:00 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 Date: 8/30/2022 12:03:00 PM Hello William, well i hope you and the guys had a wonderful time. There is nothing wrong with ballet. Aloha!

Aloha Darlene. Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/31/2022 7:00:00 AM Hello William, I do like your title. Aloha! Darlene Hilo Poet Date: 8/30/2022 6:46:00 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. Hilo Poet Date: 8/30/2022 6:45:00 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 Date: 8/30/2022 3:10:00 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 Hilo Poet Date: 8/30/2022 12:16:00 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
