Father's Father Comments

Delightful poem, Doug! I never had the pleasure (yet) of meeting my father's father, nor my mother's mother. I look forward to doing so one day. I especially liked the ending to the poem: and, ever since then i've been haunted by images of a searing, blinding bat wings enfolded, hovering over my family just waiting to devour one more forgotten ancestor Very well done.

It is a delight going back to childhood memories! Those memories though fragmented they be, connect us to generations gone before! Enjoyed! !

Father's Father is a poem of intimacy, respect, and love. Bridge still stands. I enjoyed the poem. Thank you.

a good read about ancestors. yes one leaves and another appears.
