Dear Father Poem by merna ibrahim

thanks my dear brother Jatin.thanks a lot for you Howard and Rakesh.You are all great friends! ! !

In our youthful days we seem to act that we knew all things. That we were grow ups and be able to act and do what ever we wanted to... sometimes having it in our mind to have our liberty, we miss understood our parents and never listen to their kind advice. The pity side here is... we will never know what is the true essence of their shouts and anger when we are not yet in their shoes...sometimes late to discover and not be able to settle the conflicts we have to our parents... To no further ado...this is a heartfelt composition written so beautiful...10

The poem expresses your deep attachment with your father. You have successfully painted the whole situation. Rich in imagery and style. Nice write.

Nice sentiment but rhyming alone doesn't make a poem. Some personal concrete images would have made you poem about your father far stronger in many ways. So real personal memories like what he like to eat, how he dressed, how he said goodnight to you as a child. How he smiled anything of this sort would have made your father far more real than the abstracts that you presented in the poem. Think about what the reader doesn't know and realize that the reader wants that person stuff that makes things real. Stuff that draws a real picture in their head. A poet needs to draw the reader in and maintain them. This what makes the difference between a great poem and a simple rhyme. You should read Dylan Thomas' poem After the Funeral (In memory of Ann Jones) which deals with the death of someone he cared for very much. You will notice he uses the intimate images and describes the funeral in detailed words that make us feel the the burial and the the reception room after the funeral. We end up with a real picture of poor Ann Jones. Even the stuffed fox in her room and how death is even in the unwatered fern in her house. They are real images and symbols that leave the reader with real feelings about Ann Jones. We know her somewhat after reading the poem. A poet friend// RH Peat
