Awe. What a lovely memory and a lovely poem. I pronounce poem with two syllables as well. A beautiful story in a beautiful poem. I envy your memory. All children should be so privileged.
Well done.
Blessings

Lucky you for being in Maine! My favorite vacation state! I loved this poem and I'm sorry I have no more six-star awards to offer. The love of reading, the love of poetry, and the love of family are interwoven beautifully. Your abab rhyme is perfect.
Best of luck with this entry!

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is an excellent poem for thevchallenge! How nice that your father kept such a book and that you were able to hear the unique rhythmic sounds from little.
Well written & presented!

Thanks, Alex. My father is the main reason why I write poetry.
Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading your poem. I feel that love of poetry is often passed down in families. My mother loved poetry and I do too. There is a good feeling in your words as the image of your father reading favorite poems to you is created. A feeling of love comes through your words. Your poetic form is smooth and gives the reader a positive image. Best wishes for the contest.

Thanks for the review. I have written a few poems about my father.
Comment from Octavious Piercy-Maze
I also long for these days although it was my Mother who read to me. For some reason when I read the word lad I got a little choked up. The impermanence of life is what makes it tragically beautiful.

Comment from jim vecchio
Thank you for sharing this precious sentimental poem. Though I've read many classics since my childhood days, I'd give them all up to hear my mother reading to me from a large book of nursery rhymes she had, or "Jimmy's Trucks" or "A Pony For Tony". Thank you for bringing back these memories.
