Men With No Sense

Men With No Sense

Disclaimer: This not about all men. Just the ones with no sense. And, yes, I know there are also women like this too.ย 

Men With No Sense

Secrets and lies, and men with no
sense;
How they mess up your heart and screw with your head.
They trick you, deceive you, convince you you're done,
How they leave you with nothing but questions that run.
They take you and hold you and spill you the gen'
(How well they can talk when it's all about them!)
Now I walk on my own, watching birds as they fly
And I hear the Kites call as they circle the sky;
And they scream like the pain that I feel in my heart,
(A sound to the dagger that tore me apart)

I held faith in his words and believed what he said
But he promised forever, then left me in limbo instead.
All the secrets and lies, with no recompense;
How they fuck up your life, these men with no sense.

Venting is the best thing for the soul. Especially when done is a safe place. Just want to say how wonderful you are. Thank you for being.ย

Every line in this is Soooo relatable...I hesitate to say all.men also but there are definately a vast proportion out there who behave exactly like this Tina.
This is a complete change for you which shows you can conquer all styles and themes brilliantly...heartfelt I think, this one...pinned my friend ?

Awww...Marion. I am sorry this one is relatable to you. It was written from personal experience.ย 

The reason I love poetry is that writers have so many tools at their disposal. There is flow and rhyming...or not rhyming. There is sentence structure and length. There are beautiful words that make a line equisite to read. With all these at their disposal, a poet can target their intention so much more deliberately with fewer words than, say, a short story writer. (And I have utmost respect for short story writers). I do like experimenting with different styles. I have so much to learn and am enjoying the journey.

Thank you so much for your kind words. And, as always, thank you for reading.

Many hugs ? xย

I love the rawness of this poem.
There's certainly some venom in them fangs (joking!...I'm not calling you a snake...or a snake with tits for that matter...It's a term I've heard many times before in my 20s)

Great write, great emotion. I love such direct to the point poems.

The same can definitely be said for both sexes.

Hahaha...yeah, I can spit venom!ย  ย This poem can indeed be just as easily about women with no sense too. Narcissism exists for both sexes.ย 

Glad you liked it Syd. Thanks for reading and leaving such a great comment x

Hi Fish!ย  I tried to use speed and flow to help bring this emotional rant through. It is not about all men (only the self obsessed jerks) and can quite easily apply to women with no sense too.ย  Thank you for stopping by to read and leave a comment., it's much appreciated x

What a great poem.ย  Your poetry gravitates the reader.ย  I am so jealous.ย  Yes we men suck.ย  I am though your admirer/.ย  Wish the men in your life would have treated you as a beautiful lady you are.ย  If I was single and not in love with the best wife a man could have, I would swoon you as you are certainly a catch.ย  Your spirit is magnificent.ย  You are magnificent!

Hi Greg!ย  Not all men suck! Thank god. There are many good and lovely men in the world, yourself being among them... And I bet your sons have been well brought up too. I am proud of my own sons, they are lively people. There are friends I have made here on Cosmo. So, I do know some men with a lot of sense who are wonderful people.

BUT

Then there are those arse holes around that should wear warning tags round their dicks lol. And this poem is dedicated to them...ย  And there are also some women out there that fall under this category... A lot of them.ย 

You are sweet, Greg. Your wife is a lucky lady and you are a lucky man to have such a lovely wife. Your words never fail to cheer me up... So thank you for that. And also a big thank you for reading my work and for being so kind about it. Thank you very, very much... Hugs ? x

Thanks

Actually it IS ALL men!... ?Just kidding, this is all too relatable though for more women than men, that's just statistically true. There just are more men than women with ASP disorders. Narcissism, sociopathy is everywhere!
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹I have had relationships with lovely kind men and I got one gaslighting tw.t and it will never happen to me again cos I'm self trained in red flag spotting now,,?โ›ณ?. It was pure hell. I couldn't even do it again. Yes you touched a nerve haha!ย 
โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹Right you best get creeping to all the men on here now ??. A great write, and clearly I relate!ย

Aha! Many male readers stay away from this post, just kidding!!! Hope men with some senses are still the majority in any society.

Ah... You noticed ??? yes they have! The good ones who know they are good people and have no fear of being labelled have shown their support... Lol

There are loads of good men out there!ย  And often they don't get enough credit!ย 

Thank you for reading and leaving a fun comment. Your support is appreciated, my friend x

I do have a pair of sharp eyes, remember? Here is food for thought: "Some Men With No Sense", so men not in some will come to appreciate your talents? ;-)

Thank you very much for your suggestion, any suggestion is always welcomed, but I think, on this occasion, I will leave it as it is because it is a rant about men with no sense. But thank you, all the same x

Awww Greg...firstly, hugs...big hugs for you. You are a gentle and kind soul. 63 is not too old to find love, my friend. There is lots of people out there and love flows around us all like an invisible ribbon. It can still happen, Greg. Just never, ever give up the thought x

Great poem Being Me and you hit the poetry nail on its poetry head.
So much truth finely woven in and it reminds me of Roald Dahl's style of witty writing and superb delivery.
A poem to make all men think and take stock of their lives...myself included!!!
Thanks for sharing and I wish you well.
Take care and enjoy life.
Will read more tomorrow I promise.
A promise I'd better keep or I might deservedly be the brunt of your next poem!

A fine well crafted poem. I can relate sadly. Some men (not all) truly are a senseless breed, full of hollow promises and they disappear quickly. Leaving you no understanding as to what you did wrong. You wish you could get all that time wasted emotionally investing in them but sadly you canโ€™tย 

thanks for this. It felt good to readย

Oh' and just for the record,ย I am torn between wishing you had not felt the original need to pen these words .. and being glad that because you did, you also had the guts to pen n post em ... Furthermore, let it also be known, sometimes, I am ashamed of my own fucking gender ............... Nย
