[hometext] => This is about my dad. I had to make a poem for english about both of my parents and this is what came out of it. I couldn't think of the right words to say...
[bodytext] => PARENT POEM: Dad’s Personal Strength My dad is not like your average dad. In no way is he average. By a Harvard man, He might be considered below, Dropping out of high school, Because he got a girl pregnant. But to me, he’s above average, He’s astounding. He took the responsibility Allot of men wouldn’t take A second look at. Half of the men who get women Pregnant, They stay away because of fear. They claim the child isn’t theirs. But my dad, oh no, he took Responsibility. In the long run, It might have not been the Right thing to do. Just image what he could have done, If he had stayed in school. He could have been anything. My dad, My dad taught himself everything By touch, By listening. He didn’t need to go to school To know how to fix a computer. He didn’t need to take band class, To know how to strum a guitar, Or play the drums with the right rhythm. All he needed was to see it, To feel it, To hear it. When other dads are watching football, Or playing golf, My dad is on the computer, Working on his own online business. Sure, he’s barely home Because he has to support The family. But my dad, When you speak one word to him, You fall in love. He makes you feel great inside. He makes you laugh. He makes you feel smart, Great, Real. My dad is easy going and Has a personal strength That a lot of men lack. He doesn’t need a college degree To be smart. He’s already smart. If you can teach yourself the computer, What it is, How it operates, Then you’re amazing. If you can know by just listening, What strings to strum? Then you’re incredible. If you can be yourself, And still have your personal strengths, Your wisdom of the less fortunate, Then you are without words, The greatest. That is exactly what my dad is. The greatest. After all that he’s gone through, He still makes you smile While Smiling Himself. Now that, Is a Personal strength.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
