Wonderfully written. He rests in peace knowing that through his son, his legacy lives on.
I assure you, I see you as a great poet. You will soon emerge. Nice poem.
Well to be honest I envy you for writing an elegy so beautifully and I also envy your father for being so highly admired by his son! A truly heroic figure is imagined by reading this poem that mocks all mythical heros! Also it was so good of you to add your notes, but I think I'm not sure how your late father hero passed away! Did you mention it?
Reading this poem I am so glad. Long poem, but truly and so so nice......
That truly was an Epic poem, I enjoyed journeying through the many phases of life. I love the nick names used and thank you for the explanation of terminology. This truly is a great poem, like it very much.....
This poem can bring the dead back to life. He must be smiling in heaven. Nice piece Akachukwu.
If I had one word, it would be WOW! ! ! What a blessed son or daughter with a dad to die for! ! ! ! . GBU. Curtis
You have described the event so well.. You have written it very well
A wonderful elegy to an obviously remarkable being... you spread the word well. And thank you for the glossary at the end; it helps those of us from other cultures to have a fuller understanding.
It's pleasing to talk about those who leave indelible marks in our lives, and you have done yours in a very rich way, with much brilliance and splendour. I love this poem. God bless you
This celebratory elegy brings out the mythic heroism of ordinary life.
