Real Men (poem) by E D Phillips on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on February 23, 2018

There is an increasing subtlety of approach which I appreciate with those passing of years...but sometimes...subtlety falls by the wayside and the rug is pulled unceremoniously from under someone's size 10's!
All in the game...
I so enjoyed this....

Times change as we grow older, instead of the heady rush of youth we have a savored moment of beauty. If we play our cards well, then, maybe? Life can be good, Thanks for sharing your delightful poem dear Edward, Bless your heart.

The game between men and women haven't and never will change. We taunt. The men flock. Some give and take. All winners. No losers. Our techniques improve over time.

Love it!! And don't forget, when the going gets tough, real men use duct tape. It'll help you keep it together.

You were a late bloomer when it comes to chasing bloomers. And worth every minute of laughter. Funny stuff.

I'll still maintain that behind every successful man--is a woman. And, vice-versa.

A wonderful piece of levity, allowing one, both the writer and the reader, that pause to embrace the "don't take yourself too seriously."
With out some humorous self-depredation, how can one expect to know the truly serious contemplation hovering, waiting to be be embraced and used to take us to the next moment of levity. Ah, the gift of aging.
