Poetry by Cher-Daddy's Home

Daddy's Home

Out the front door I stepped
As he pulled into the drive
His face covered full with hair
Like that of santa's pride.
Who was this man before me
My father's friend I was sure
I started off to tell him
That my father was not here.
So long gone was he away
To a child it seemed forever
Like a dream that never ended
But soon would get much better
With the puzzled look he gave
As I'm sure I had one too
He opened up his arms and said boy did I miss you
Just like in a movie
My heart was pounding loudly
The longest foot I ever ran into the arms of daddy

POETRY BY CHER- DADDY'S GONE NOW

POETRY BY CHER

Daddy's Gone Now
about my Father


I wrote a poem about how he came home,
How I missed him so much, To a child it seemed forever.
Well forever is here,I'm no longer a child,
For now he's not home he's passed on into the unknown.
Years passed like a short day ,How I wished I'd made them longer.
Once here, then gone it seems so wrong
Like the snap of a finger, or a blink of the eye
My Daddy was gone, my Daddy died!
That Daddy of mine, whom I will Love and miss forever more
I'll see you again one day
But for now I'll stay,
I have kids of my own and they need me home.
So I say see you later
This is Not good bye
I will see you again the day I die.

POETRY-BY CHER- DADDY'S GOING

DADDY'S GOING

Daddy's Going

Don't cry my babies

Daddy's not gone forever

Mommy & Daddy just can't seem to get it together

Somedays's are good you know, but most are not

So Daddy must now go

He's not far away

He will visit often ,you can see him when you wish

So don't cry my kids

It'll hurt for a while, for all of us it must

It'll take getting used to

But hear me and trust

Don't cry my babies

Things will get better

Now, we move on and Hurt no more

POETRY BY CHER- HOW TO WRITE A POEM

HOW TO WRITE A POEM

First of all, there is no way I can tell you how to write a poem!

I can suggest ways of getting going, but a poem usually comes from the heart!

Ask yourself:

How much time do I want to take to write a poem. Some may come to you quickly and others may take some time.

You have to decide what is most important to you.

Some of the great poets wrote them in minutes, and some were written over a long time.

I think the main focus is to write about something that you know, or something that you are passionate about. If you have something that is bothering you, or something that hurts you, or something you are extremely happy about!

This is how we write from the heart, when we hurt, when we are happy, when we are angry, all the emotions help for a good poem to come out and help to capture your own feelings, and maybe connect with another person who reads it.

If you are stuck for ideas, go to a thesaurus or a dictionary, or read another poets work, look at magazines or books that interest you, and soon enough ideas will come flooding to you.

Finally I say again, write from the heart, that's where all the good stuff is!
