Love how this challenges the stereotypes of a father son relationship without sounding like it has an agenda

Another Wish for You

may you be

frequently ambushed,

thoroughly boonswoggled,

by a season of meandering joy,

a Mississippi of mischievous adventure,

a benign typhoon of good trouble,

redolent of favorite times

with people and

animals, places as well,

that sparkle you

with aliveness,

as you in turn

in your unbridled romping

transfigure

and effervesce all

with whom you’ve wandered

along muddy

cattailed riverbanks

bursting forth fat

blackberries, sizzling

dragonflies and

cottages shaded

by sycamores

serene as plump cats

lazing in sun, glistening

wonder like wildflowers

listening to rain.

Nice work. Poetry can tell the

untold stories, the stories that

never get a chance to face the

monn light. Poetry always uphold

that voice.
