I Had A Visit From My Dad Last Night Comments

Dear Mary I know about that lost feeling as far as my father is concerned.He left home when I was 18 months old and I believe that this changed everything.My thoughts are with you.Love Duncan

that poem truely grabs the reader and makes you think. The fact that my father is gone makes me wAnt to sit and think deeply. This poem makes me establish a true emotion. I'm honustly speechless. But to get to the point this is GREAT! ! !

Excellent, heartfelt poem inspired by the thought of Jack, no doubt. Possibly skip the 'was all I' it would improve the meter. Best H

To some extent the sentiment here is similar to my 'Cheese and Pickles' This is nota ploy to get you to read my work but the analogy is worth a moment's perusal

Oh Mary this is such a moving poem, I can hardly see the screen to type. Beautifully written. Amanda x

a very poignant, effective poem! . By coincidence, I have just submitted a poem on the same theme....

This was such a lovely meeting with your father, Mary, very poignant and moving. Lovely one. Sincerely Ernestine

Mary, I think I was crying from the first two lines forward!

Mary...this is one of your strongest and best poems. I love the detail about his cologne, and his praying for you was very moving. For me, the rhyme gets in the way, however. It draws me out, causes me to think about the sounds at the ends of the lines rather than the guts of the poem. I know that they are part of your technique for generating ideas, and I do it myself from time to time, especially in the last two lines of a poem, but they can become more like static than music disturbing the spell of the poem. Just a thought.

Oooo... I like this subject matter. I definitely believe this.
