Dad
Fathers day is such a special day
I'm so happy to share it with you
I'm so happy things worked out this way
I don't know what I'd do without you.
I know at times we had it rough
and you thought that i might be dead and gone
I'm sorry that I acted so damn tough
but things got better as our lives went on
I'm so glad you've been there for me Dad
Always there to give me the push I need
You picked me up when things were so so bad
and made my life a bit more easy
I can say that you were the best father
I'm sorry for not being the best daughter
I believe that the form did have an influence on the subject matter of the poem I wrote. I think that the form feels to me more serious. I tried to use poetic language, but I find it hard to write a poem with so many restrictions. I would have been able to use a lot more poetic language if I was writing free verse or other types of poems that are not so restricted. I find it hard to be able to say exactly what I need to say, or let the reader know exacly what I want them to know when a poem can only be 14 lines and so on.
