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.
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.
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 Magazineabout her own father who passed away.
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.
