Happy Father's Day

Being neither a son to a living father nor a legal father, this is where I cease to exist for twenty-four hours. 

Hope the rest of you have a good day.

So It's Father's Day Again

Other than posting this poem today, as I have in years past, I don't have much else.

Was hoping to buy a book today. 

For the first time ever, I thought of it as treating myself for the holiday, which is weird.

Happy Father's Day

For those of you lucky enough to have people around you who feel you deserve a holiday, I hope you enjoy it.

I don't get a holiday. I don't even get a participation trophy. I just post the same poems about my deceased father every year.

For Father's Day joy, go elsewhere.

Happy Fathers' Day

I already posted a poem in the "voice" of my father earlier this month for my late Dad's birthday. Here's one I wrote years ago about my actual dead father. It was part of a 30 zombie poems in thirty days challenge, three years after my father passed away.

A new resolution will be to try and get at least one more poem about my father published. I tried for a while but stopped when it got to frustrating. Now I have to redouble my efforts.

Happy Father's Day

This isn't quite my day on a number of levels. I really want to write and publish more poems about my father. Until then, I have this to offer once again.

Happy Father's Day

As someone who's into his first decade of being a fatherless child, that might be all I have to say on the subject.

Not Your Daddy!

Happy Father's Day, everyone. All of you Dads out there get the tribute you deserve. And by tribute, I mean quiet.

Happy Father's Day Weekend

I could post any one of my published poems about my Dad (which I've reposted here ad nauseam) but instead I'll post Shannon O'Connor's poem over at Oddball Magazine about her own father who passed away.

If you get a chance, check out Shannon's blog Ms. Hen Reviews Things.

Happy Father's Day

It's been nearly seven years since my father's passing.  I wish I'd have written more poems about him since that time.  I know I've posted this one several times on this blog over the years, but it's all I got for today.
