darling

Posted on by areadingwriter

born in the era of
wide-legged pants
his limbs – bamboos –

his hands – cloud
to touch. his eyes,
thin eyes, disappear

when he smiles. he
dances, sings without

juke, Elton and Michael
croon inside his heart.

no wonder, no wonder
he is my darling

dad.

  7. Ah this is very sweet. Nice choice of details and had me picturing people I know that fit the description. Wide legged pants and bell bottoms are coming back. Bought my wife a couple pair at christmas. Ha.

    1. Ha. the wide legged pants and bell bottoms are here again. Congratulations to your wife! 😀 And thank you for your feedback, Brian. But most of all, thank you for founding dVerse! It’s a place of wonder and wander for poets like me.
