.
When he was
young
he scribbled
lyrical and lyrics
after his father
had read
and understood
the words and worries
he offered
freely to publish
the collection
of this son
.
Yet this son
assessing his works
declined gently
and then changed
course
not dropping out
but ignoring
brush and pen
for years
in favour of
gainings
and position
.
As time aged
so did he
retiring early
free from want
and weight
lifting a brush
wielding his pen
searching for
talented kindred
some able to
write
their heart out
.
Children
of someone
that could
write so exquisitely
pungent perhaps
even cruel
genius recognized
endowment
he would adopt
these adepts
if not already
someone's
.
Yet even better still
from experience
he'd learned
let them be
their own
as I am
.
