[hometext] => comments on all my poems are welcome
[bodytext] => He's a big daddy Big in heart, big in body, big in mind He's a scientist, a teacher A jack of all trades Tolerant to a fault He built my brother a train set from scratch He built my sister a doll house from scratch He finished our basement by himself I remember a family vacation when we went sailing Having grown up in New York City I don't know how he knew how to sail But he did He was not perfect What was good was very good And what was bad..well nobody is perfect When having a conversation with him You get that "short and sweet" feeling At least on the phone I will remember his burping and farting at the dinner table I remember the sound of his farts How funny I thought they were And how "matter of factly" he thought they were I remember some sort of reaction Maybe from eating too fast..where he had to suck in a breath Then he would talk like an elf for a minute, til it normalized I thought this was funny, but he never noticed There was a man behind the man But I suppose thats true of every father I need to share something inspirational with him Else the lonliness will kill me Why do good men grow old?

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. ©
