Men Write Poetry Too

With pens as our paintbrushes 
and the world as our canvas,
its our hearts,
that provides the ink to our pen.

The only way to make the world change ,
is to change their ideas 
of what makes a real man.

Of course this all starts off with
the slightest drop of ink 
from our pens.

At times our pens will leak
with our blood,
sweat and tears.

But that just shows the world 
that we are man,
and that we have real feelings.
It's more honorable for us men 
to show more of our humility,
rather then to show more of our abilities .

Yes this might sound silly,
but remember, a man's humility 
can always over shadow their insecurities .

I agree with Jan...some of the best poetry through history has been written by men and most of my favorites, too. I even love male singers more than women. I guess I just love men especially expressive men who can share their vulnerable side...excellent poem, Mark! Love &Blessings, Rhonda

Some of the most beautiful poetry I have seen here is written by men - and why not - we all have emotions and issues in our lives - maybe women talk about their feelings more - great write - thanks so much for sharing:-) Its a 7 from me:-) Hugs Jan xx
