Lunch Date with Poetry Buddies at Noon

We got together on the ninth of June. Just one day after our rhyming day and it wasn't too soon. It was great, first rate, and what a date. We talked, we wrote and we talked again. We wrote a bit about relationships, some good, some not so. I thought I might first share June 8th to begin.

June 8, 2026 In response to a female soldier who was mistreated by other soldiers with no recourse by JW.

By JB

Oh, my dear, that is so sad

And it makes me really mad

For a woman, the world is tough

People treat us terribly rough

Men can be such ass holes

And in a group, they get bold

Maybe to hell, they will be sent

Burning their asses as they repent

OMGness! by CVA

It’s a poem about a man.

Could be any man.

But this one’s mine.

Frustrating me all the time.

He can be fun-

But those times are few.

I think every day- a good day is due.

He crabs about this,

Which ends in a hisss.

He whines about that

No matter where we’re at.

He yells because someone wasn’t smart.

But he yells at me, that old fart!

“Talk to THEM” I always shout back.

But Oh No, he can’t do that.

I want the first man that I married.

Not this one whose crazed and “Harried”.

He doesn’t joke or laugh anymore

He’s not the same guy I use to adore.

Bring back my fun and happy man.

Bring him back as fast as you can!

I avoid him most of every day.

If Gunsmokes on I stay out of his way.

I’ll be in my yard digging another hole.

Is it another garden? No one will ever know. 😉

~~

Good thing women know how to joke

Instead of yelling or settin things up in smoke!

Them men really better watch out…

The day we finally crack they better run no doubt 😆

I surely can relate

so fun on that first date

Got a ring on my finger

The fun didn’t linger

Then I found another one

that first date sure was fun

Wasn’t long I had to run

Third time was the one

Every day, we had fun

He’s been living in heaven

Gosh, the years have been eleven

I’m having fun on my own

I guess I just like to be alone

June 9, 2026 - Group poem/rhyme

Men can be slow

But I love him this I know

He takes his time

and hardly ever gives me a dime

~

Yes, slow they cn be

But always for something for me

If it's something for them

It's done very quickly.

~

Are you talking sex?

My, it can be so complex!

~

How can this bunch of gals so sweet

talk so nasty about the guys they meet

I guess it's because we have lived a lot

and experienced those guys who have gone to pot

~

I gave up pot and never smoked alot

I love my guy and don't know why

Yes, I do! It's sex I'm talking about - oh my

Relationships are complex that is for sure

It's girls having fun getting together, yes sir!
