A Little "Manly" Music For: "Manly" Poetry To The World !
"Men" and "Poetry" Don't Go Together...Do They ?

Men don't need no bunch of stinkin' flowery prose...
To read things like...rhymes... and romantic stuff...that's compared to a rose.
We don't have time for a bunch of quaint nauseating passages...
We got better things to do...like tailgate for the game...and grill Brat Sausages.
We got to snap in 3/8 sockets for us to ratchet...
We got many dead branches lying around for us to hatchet.
We are too busy working around the house...on little things that need attention...
Not for silly sayings...that need portraying...In some "Artsy" book that women mention.
Men want the cold hard facts...with a technical illustration...
We want photos...not frilly, dainty words...left up to the imagination.
Can you handle a 4 barrel carburetor that needs its' air mixture adjusted ?
Not if you're busy writing "Poetry"...You're some kind of weirdo...that can't be trusted !

"Manly" Poetry Will Go Forth To All The World...!
And I Am Just The "Man" To Do It !
From the inner thinkings of a man...hath come forth words in the "Manly" Poetry that I render...
And from this day forward...Shall my Poems be re-affirmed "Manly"...Let no one try to hinder.
Forged of sweat...mindful of the Quest that was begun...
Manly Poetry Man set out to bring the World his Poetry...And Do It Just For Fun !
Conqueering misconceptions that Poetry was all flowery...and frilly...and stuffy...
This Man of Poetry...arrived on the stage...uttering his Poems...and did so very toughly !
Few have unleashed...the power of Poetry...out to all men...
Like the one known as "Manly Poetry Man"...has the power to send!
From a land proud...and a man who came from it...
Steps out a "Poet" ..who writes like the "Men of Old" had once long ago...done it!
A Poet among men...who rode into town..."Manly Poetry Man" is what is his name...
He rode into town to say..."Manly" Poetry to the World...That's what he has come to proclaim!
Oh...So You're Too Tough For Poetry...Huh ?
Real Men have brains...they don't need you to say...
That Poetry is just light "Romantic Passages"...Not done in a "Manly" way.
Can Poetry be bold...or Can it tell a wonderful tale...?
Can Poetry weave a plot...better than any story for sale ?
Yes...I say..."Manly" Poetry can do all that...and even rule the day...
Nothing "Girly" about "Manly" words...Set in theme...and "Manly" by what they portray.
Sure...you may have to reset a little of the "sensitive" gear...you have...back into place...
Give me a break...I know things get to us men...I've seen compassion on many a man's face.
That's 'cause...Real Men are in touch with the Human Condition known as "Having a Heart"...
Well...at least some of the time...It can happen to us men...and it ain't 'cause of a brain fart !
Men got something on the inside that is buried down deep for emergencies...and that is pretty cool...
We "Men" don't want to be in the middle of getting the job done...and be weeping like a kid in pre-school.
Go on ahead with your "Bad Self"...Play it cool...Act like you don't read Poetry or care...
I'll Shout Out Anyways: "Manly" Poetry to the World...That's what I'm here to declare!
What is "Manly" Poetry ?
Words came to the Man known as "Manly Poetry Man"...On a Day that was kind'a Dull...
And before he knew it...he couldn't get the Words...Out'ta his Thick Skull.
The Rhymes rang inside his head until he thought..."They Must Serve A Purpose!"
"I'll think of a way for a Man to Write Poems...Without sounding like a Complete Dumfuss!"
And on that day..."Manly Poetry Man"...Wrote down all his thoughts...Using Rhyming Words...
And said to himself, "My poems must not sound like poems from some Gweebicile, Dorky, Nerds !
I must Fight to make them..."Manly" Poems...My Path has now been set which I must pursue...
I Will Bring "Manly" Poetry To The World...Yeah...That's What I'm Going To Do !"
And from that day...until now..."Manly" Poetry has gone forth...
Spreading the News that Poetry can be "Manly"...For All That It's Worth.
"Manly" Poetry with a little history, humor...or tells a story...or expresses an idea...
The Kind of Poetry that makes you think about something...Or makes you go..."Gee, Uh?"
I'm not knocking Poetry with different shades to it...It is not my purpose to discourage...
Only want my "Manly" poems to incude men in the audience...That's what I'm trying to encourage.
In Poetry form of thought put down into some prose or rhyme...
Enduring stealth wisdom handed down..through the course of time.
Artistic Ideas stated in clear definition...or perhaps...with their meaning hidden...
Poetry from a Man's heart to the World...that was carefully conceived and written.

Real Men Of Action...Down Through History:
CAPT. JOHN PAUL JONES
COMMANDING
USS BONHOMME RICHARD
http://www.ussbhr.org/Bon_Homme.html
"The most remarkable single ship duel of the American Revolution was between the Bonne Homme Richard commanded by John Paul Jones and the HMS Serapis. The duel took place on September 23, 1779. The Serapis was a 50 gun ship of the line, that outgunned the Bonne Homme Richard which was barely sea worthy. When the captain of the Serapis hailed the Bonne Homme Richard and demanded surrender, John Paul Jones answered:" Surrender be dammed, I have not yet begun to fight." The Bon Homme Richard went on to vanquish the Serapis." As quoted from the above link.
Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis Of The Alamo
Dates and Description of Events are Quoted from the link below:
http://libertyhillantiques.com/alamo.html (Web Page = Texas Historian, Leonard Kubiak)
The Battle of the Alamo:
February 24, 1836--Santa Anna arrived at Bejar with the first part of his army and the siege of the Alamo began.
February 24, 1836--Travis wrote his famous letter to "the people of Texas and all Americans of the world" requesting reinforcements. In the coming days, there were several more requests by Travis for reinforcements.
March 5, 1836--Travis drew a line in the sand and gave every man the choice to cross the line and join him in a fight to the death to defend the Alamo. All but one man crossed.
March 6, 1836--The battle of the Alamo. Travis died during the early part of the battle with a bullet to the head. He was observed on the ramparts firing in defiance. In a matter of hours, all the American defenders were killed and the Mexicans claimed the victory.
Commander of the U.S. Third Army, General George S. Patton
He Is Quoted As Saying:
“You’re never beaten until you admit it.”
AND:
“If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.”
AND:
“If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.”
Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, USMC
He Is Quoted As Saying:
" All Right...They're on our left...They're on our right...They're in front of us...They're behind us...They can't get away this time!"
AND:
"Alright you bastards, try and shoot me!" (to enemy forces during the Korean War)
AND:
"Don't forget that you're First Marines! Not all the Communists in hell can overrun you!" (to his men at the Chosin Reservoir)

Men Were Meant To Conquer...If Only Their Fears...Are What's Left In The Way...
Real Men Stand For Their Families...Their Kids Rush To Hug "Dad's" At The End of The Day.
Real Men Have A Certain "Air" About Them...Alot Of Confidence...And Are A Little Bit Brash...
Real Men Tell Ya' When You Step Out'ta Line...They Tell Ya' Real Quick To Kiss Their _ ss!

Real Men Back Away From Something That Sounds Too Sissy...
That's Why Real Men Don't Read Poetry If It Starts Sounding Too Prissy.

Wow..! What a poetic explosion that was...Blasted me out of my chair and had me cheering !!!...You mentioned the JPJ comment on the Bon Homme Richard...you forgot to mention the comment by the three-times wounded Gunny Sgt. up in the masts when he heard JPJ shout " I have not yet begun to fight "...He looked down at his Captain and mumbled " Goddam 10% that never gets the word "...
Chesty was the man, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division...now he would have appreciated your Manly poetry...
My talented friend, I'm wishing you and yours a happy and safe holiday season, ...Larry
AE: "Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk...Glad you liked it!" I appreciate the "Hat's Off" from your husband...a very "manly" term as well...BTW. Thanks for the comment...J, my friend...and for reading "Manly" Poetry To The World !
maven101: How'd you like seeing "Chesty" in the heart of this one ? I tell you...I must be "Kooky" to put the likes of all these different "manly" personas...into a "Manly" Poem. Yes..."Chesty" was the man! "A Marine's Marine"...which is a very high tribute to pay any Marine! JPJ, Wm. B. Travis, and Gen. Patton are highly esteemed for heroics...as well...right along with him...in my book! (And...this here poem!) And I could sure go on about many, many more...! Thank you for your comments, my friend Larry...and a very Happy Holiday Season to you and all your family.
What?? What?? Where is Chuck Norris?? You have Elvis.. after all!! Merry Christmas MPM!! Rhyme-on!
CV: I know...what was I thinking...Ok...I'll get busy with a new "Manly" Poem....with "Chuck" in it...and Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal, David Carradine, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Mohammed Ali...Let's See: "Manly" Poetry That Kicks _ss...will make for a good title! Maybe, that will make-up for leaving Chuck out of this one. (My wife is a big fan of Chuck's, too!) Merry Christmas to you and your family, Candie V...Thank you for stoppin' in to read and comment on this one.
Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Manlypoetryman and any little poetrychildren! Take that old tractor out and take some Christmas cheer to your neighbors!!
That was good. It wasn't quite manly enough for me though. Thanks.
MPM - "Not if you're busy writing "Poetry"...You're some kind of weirdo...that can't be trusted !"
You and I have been called much worse things than that, and yet we have never been cussed out of it, have we?
Gus :-)))
Candie V: I'll be sure and pass that on to Mrs. MPM...and the MPM children. I like the idea of hoppin' on "Ol' Bess" (The Tractor's Name) and spreading some Christmas Cheer around the Neighborhood! MPM
Micky Dee: "Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk...I'll have to work on that in future poems!" MPM
GusTheRedneck: Poetry with a flair for not being too much of a weirdo...or a fairy...that's what Real Men Write!

Thanks manlypoetryman! I really got a good laugh while reading. I look forward to reading more of your work!
Kendall H: Thanks for this comment....Glad you got a great laugh from this poem :)! Please!...read alot more of my work...and I also appreciate you reading this one on "Manly" Poetry itself. Humble Regards, MPM
Oh, you're so "Manly", I can't take it... and now that I know your taste in poetry, I understand why you don't read me so much.. LOLOL (I like to swim in puddles of laced loveliness) :D anyway, "Get R Done"! hehehehehe Love it.
I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s: My "Poet" friend...I have read many of your works...and enjoyed them! Actually...I appreciate Poetry in all it's forms...that is why I say it gets a bad rap. I appreciate the format where a "Poem" can deliver a message! We were always taught in school as kids that "Poets" were "Romantics"...Meanwhile one of the ones that seared in my brain during some boring English class...with my mind 1/2 daydreaming into space...was "The Charge of the Light Brigade". So you could say that I always want to "bring it" with Poetry of that kind! I don't know if I would write poems of puddles of laced lovliness...But I would write one on grilling Brat Sausages...and Destroying Things Overnight...Ha ! :) LoL! Thank You...so much for your great comment and for reading my "Manly" Poem. Glad you liked this one on: "Manly" Poetry to the World...Ha! Humblest Regards, MPM!
Good stuff. Wish I had more time for writing. When I see a bad poem, I think,
"wow!...huh?" When I see a good poem I go, "huh?....wow!"
Hahaha.. you so ROCK, "Manly"... I have been inspired to use MORE metaphors.... (I've been told, it will keep stalkers away, too) go figure.. LOL
wonder what a poem from me about " grilling Brat Sausages...and Destroying Things Overnight." would sound like.. Hahahahaha
great times in discussions, I must say..
Your Friend,
Humbled "puddled poet" :D
philip carey 61: Thank you...Glad this one fell into the "Huh?...Wow!" category...(a very excellent descrition of what I would only hope to bring with "Manly" Poetry...BTW)! You know...sometimes I just jot down lines when I don't have time to write...have you tried doing that? I surely appreciate your comment...and for reading this "Manly" Poem! Sincerely, MPM
Dear humbled "puddled poet" I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s...I would sure like to see ya' "bring it" with your best metaphors of "Manly-isms". C'mon...give 'em a try...matter of fact, I "double-dog" dare ya' to bring out the best of the best metaphors into a poem done by yourself...Ha! and LOL! Humbly, MPM
“You’re never beaten until you admit it.” I like those lines manly and manly poetry is one good poet,
Thank you, I came by to let you know that I am happy to have known you here at HP<
best and God bless next year, Maita
PDH: Thank you...for your great comment. Gen. Patton had many, many more great quotes....all of them classic...just like that one. Thank you very much for the "Good poet" compliment...as well.

I really do need a break...'cause rhymes keep bouncin' around inside my thick skull...ha! :) Humble Regards, MPM
As a Jarhead I had to come back!
Thank you, Leatherneck Mickey Dee...for viewing this here "Manly" Poem to the World again. It is full of many "Marine-isms"...as all things manly should be! I have no doubt that Chesty has duly noted your coming back here for a re-read...as well! Appreciate your comment...as always, MPM. Best of Fortune with all your Hubs, too...By the Way.
MPM - You wrote..."Signed your fellow 'redneckian' bud on a mission, MPM "
How's the mission going "fellow redneckian?"
Happy 2010, and let's hope that you and I (and others) last the whole doggone year !
Gus ;-)))
GusTheRedneck: There you are...I was 'bout to send out a hunting party to go and find ya'! Been meaning to stop in and pay some of your redneck tales...a visit...but I ain't been quite up to par...as of late...with an ongoing chest cold. The Mission is going right on course...as planned...just haven't figured out what the course is...yet!? Ha! And I do wish you the same...a great 2010, plus 2011, 2012, 2013, and on and on...if'n we manage to make it that far...and still be standing in our boots! Signed, your friend, MPM
Manly poetry! Wow! It's kinda like Cowboy Poetry but new and awesome! Your the John Wayne of poetry...I bet you can write some very good country songs, have you ever tried that? Look forward to following your hubs...
Michael Shane: Wow...the John Wayne of Poetry...that there is a mighty tall order! Sure...I could do the country song thing...not that I have...but because of the strong influence it has had in my life...even going back to some real ol' school stuff like Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr., Loretta Lynn, Roy Acuff, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, etc...(You get the picture: ol' school country!) Thanks for stoppin' in and readin' this one, Michael...and for leaving this great comment. Please do...follow along with my hubs...that would sure be much appreciated. Humblest regards, MPM
Very, very interesting, could not stop loving it...
Moulik Mistry: That's "Manly" Poetry..my friend!
Give us a country song similiar to Hank or Lefty but "Manlypoetryman" style...I bet it will make for an awesome Hub! Thanks!
Michael Shane: Have to work hard on a really good one...to even begin to attempt...such a small and partially-as-good-as work...as one worthy of such legends, as Hank and Lefty Frizzell! But...I, humbly, would accept the challenge! HHHMMM...gives this poet...many, many ideas...Stay Tuned! Appreciate your support, Michael!
oh that i very manly style of writing poem but i admit that i enjoyed reading it because it is so very different though still i love to write flowery poems;-)
guinazahmad: Well...we each got our own style of poetry that we like. There is nothing wrong with "flowery" poetry...if that's what you like...it just ain't very "Manly"...at all...Ha! Really glad that you enjoyed this one. (I had so much fun writing it!) Good Fortune with your writings of Poetry. I wish you the Best with it! Thanks for your comment and for reading this one. Sincere regards, MPM
