Words really matter. Blavatsky said 'the universe is never again the same for every word spoken!'. Reading and writing poems and poetry helps me concentrate on words, thoughts, feelings. My first son, Andrew, has Down's Syndrome and he allows me to see the world differently and that's a great source of inspiration - as are my sons Angus, Adam and wife Amelie...........words, poems, feelings ...........Love - of course!!!

Selfish gene
By and large my children seized a certain 'form' from me
but what's in charge?
- A sideways grin, a run that seems like Mr. Bean and freckly skin -
Me, their Dad can hope these lads grow branches, forge beyond a stem by (being them) and large.
There aren't enough poems from fathers to their kids. You'd think there would be tons of them (considering how often poets write about their own parents) but fatherly poems seem hard to find. Great work, man.
i very much enjoyed this one.

ReplyDeleteWonderful! Enjoyed this one very much, and so agree with that there are not enough of these. Fathers in words for their children. Well written!
