Best Manhood Poems


To Manhood In a Foxhole
The silence...
The stillness
Akin to shadows, long fingers reach
Warriors and I
Lie here in the hallow
Fear…beside us, beseech!

Where is the enemy?
Whispers seem to ring out
Lips from my fingers, keeps head from arise
To quell eager peering about

I am a boy
But, this night, man become I
I and my buddies…
Too...

Manhood


The ad said that I could increase the size of my manhood.
I gave my manhood serious thought and asked myself if
my manhood really needed an increase in size. I was also
concerned as to what particular aspects of my manhood
they were offering to enlarge.  I...

Premium Member In Search of Manhood-Animus
To be a man in a world of false men
And keep honor as a good Sherpa guide
To not lose dignity in the lion's den
And stay ever humble before such pride

To know that character, is coin of the realm
And duty to cause is the cloth we...

The truck he drives
His sexual tool
What makes a man a man?...

Premium Member Curiosity Exploring Innocence In All Innocence a Journey Into Manhood
Curiosity.
Exploring Innocence,
In all innocence.
A journey into manhood.

At three, sweet Linda’s flower bloomed for me
in my driveway under our old maple tree
where pedestrians, neighbours, family could see.

In our innocence- as we explored – they did not exist
for us, as we, in our innocence – you show...

The Search For Manhood
I’m a man who knows nothing of manhood,
Never taught initiative and action to wield.
Ducked away from my call, chose inaction’s shield
I wish to be that man, I know I could.

I’m a man who knows nothing of manhood,
Never taught to strive to be the best.
Accepted mediocrity,...

Rights of Manhood
As my bowls moved from one solitude to an other, my thoughts resonated to a topic of most
prolific discussion. The rights of man came into light, true nature being expressed
through the passion of my exercise. My vision lay upon the world is a sight to...

Manhood
Is it hard for you to understand why you should embrace a woman’s tears there’s a message that should not be missed, a list of tools to survive and they all start with love?
 
“I’m a man, I’m strong, I deserve to sit on a...

Manhood
My bears' beard came in when I turned eighteen.
I dipped my audacity in manhood
and it spit me out like sugarless tea.
The trenches near sent me back to curfews.

A man must talk and bear his own garbage:
He runs, He dies, and breaks his spine for pay
that’s...

Crumbs of Manhood
Cant deny my nature right?
Cant stop doing wrong if it feels right!

I mean, who could.… at such a sight?

Sip some class, and ignore ethics’ bite,
At my sternum, behind my skin, and outta sight.

We seat our glasses beside the bed,
Its name isn’t confidence, that beautiful red.

She...

Mankind Versus Manhood
Victimizing's sound of lewd
I hear the name of vile intrude,
as violence, while the man is hood
and faith's assumption, lost construed.

The necessary loss of feud
by self agreement, merely mood,
the cause of struggle be renewed
by mankind's offer, listening proves!

It is agreement that needs groove
of thoughts respecting others...

Questions
Questions!?!
Have I not been good enough…!?! What else must I do!?!
What else possibly can I do to show you that I’m true?
Have I not paid the rent and mastered the utility bills?
Have I not furnished the house, and even added frills?
Haven’t I taken care of...

Four Things

Four things in any land must dwell, 
If it endures and prospers well:
One is manhood true and good;
One is noble womanhood;
One is child life, clean and bright;
And one an altar kept alight....

Premium Member Not a Man
Tell me
I'm not a man.

Up against this 
charred forest,
compelled along
its path.

Handed these levers,
these weights, these
high-stakes appraisals.

Delivered this beaten,
broken mired work,
these floundering hopes.

Living with my chiseled
consequences
and
fast turn-around
confrontations.

Captured in someone's climate
of conquest.

Clad in this breathless
armor of control,
a frenzy of packaged
   identity
like someone's remedies
for whom I...
