Overdue Gratitude

Hello Fayesh. I think we all wish we'd voiced our love when we had the chance. A good read with easy flow.
Syntax - "A prince among men" a nice concept
Rhyme - Well done throughout.
Flow - Interupted slightly in the 3rd stanza. Perhaps if u substituted "to wait for" with "knowing there would be".
Emotion - A feeling of regret
Topic - A well worn topic but you've portrayed it well
Image - Of a girl needing the comfort of her father.
Regards Mia

Thank you for your very thorough review. I really don't want to change any of the wording because I was going for a consistent 7 syllable line.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
A nice tribute to your Dad. Reads well with plenty of emotion from you. The rhyme and rhythm flows well with love from you.

Comment from luisestable
A simple poem about your father this is. There is no overpowering of emotions but just light facts about you dad, and by light I don`t maen trivial.
I like what you did with the stanzas: the lines and the rhyme.
Yes, we always want to be present when a dear one, a loved, dear one dies to say the final good-bye.
Take care. luis

Thank you for taking the time to review my poem.
Comment from Srinivasan
I feel nostalgic and sentimental reading this poem. This is the first poem I read this morning and it has turned out to be a bit autobiographical. The III stanza presents my son's temperament when I am angry or when I scold him and this poem turns out to be more personal and close to heart. All the best.
