I watched a program on TV the other day, devoted to the Indian tribes in the Texas/Arizona, Apache, Chiricahua Navaho etc, Cochise and particularly Geronimo, who, captured and sent to Florida, was great feted in the US in the early 19th century, in his 80 s when he died, ever the rebel, not a true chief, but a leader of men. Beautifully written in articulate verse, Geronimo was truly free, as good a hero as could be found, well done, good scribing, blessings, Roy

Sergeant,
I think I get it - and it would have nothing to do with Geronimo at all. *smile* It's about denying your true heritage, even when it's less than what you might prefer. We sometimes may have to overcome obstacles in our life, but to deny what we start out with is a really sad thing. I suppose if you would deny your father, there's a chance you'd deny your mother, too, given the chance? Thanks for sharing.

I liked your story/poem. It resonates with wistfulness and longing in the little boy (your father). You crafted this one very well and held the reader's attention. Well done.

A lot is lost if one does not turn the page. Thank you for sticking until the end.

Sergeant Floyd, your poetic story and commentary is exceptionally good. Geronimo was indeed a hero, a man who took care of his people in challenging times. An that is why we still honor his memory. :) Nancy

Nice descriptions of American Indian features. It is an identity issue you seem to
have as a theme. The word pirouette could have the description of a natural phenomena like dust devil or ? just a suggestion.

With an indian theme, all must be nature. Phenomena or a tempest of soul. Thank you for your review.

This is an interesting poem. I really enjoyed this. I always wondered why people hollered Geronimo when jumping from a plane. My cousin sky dives and he hollars that all the time.I'll have to ask him why. Thanks again. Great job

A scream is hard to enunciate. Geronimo would fit the bill. I think jumping out of a plane I could not even get passed unclenching my teeth. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Gloria ....
I love the artwork. Very nice and a perfect pair with your authentic and well-written poem. You set the tone well right at the outset and go on to show us how Geronimo became the absentee father of a boy desperately in need of a father.
Some amazing lines throughout and most impressed me is you invited your reader right inside your imagination.
Great job with this.

A very well-written poem. Everything parents do to each other and their own chidren have an effect on them in their adult years and determine how they will treat their own family.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a heartfelt write about your father searching for his roots. I loved the line: flint and steel married in the eyes, it says so much about the hurt he felt in not knowing his father. Knowing where we came from is important for our future, it gives us firm foundations on which to build. Your father fantasised about who his father was. Your poem is honest and has true feeling thought, a joy to read and I wish I had a six for you, love Dolly x
