This work has reached the exceptional level

This well constructed and rhymed homage to your father is quite inspiring.
Colorful imagery is created through effective employment of metaphor.
Opening line presents tasteful use of alliteration.
I see an exceptional contest entry.
Best wishes!

Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

A very well-written poem about a father who encouraged you to write from an early age and to trust your instincts and write what is in your heart and never be afraid to be different.

    Excellent review, Sandra. That is indeed what my father instilled in me.

I'd say you've done your father proud. Finding and developing one's unique voice is the single most important accomplishment for any writer.
Your voice is your muse . . . your fountain of creativity. Without a voice, one merely mouths the words.

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee

    Thank you. My father instilled in me to be resourceful and individual. I was a bit different and Dad was staunch in making me believe that was OK.
