I liked the way you chose to format this poem. It also has some good imagery in its phrases. This poem is written from your fond memories. It has very good flow and emotions written into its poetic voice. I enjoyed reading this well delivered piece of poetic art... John

I wanted so much to give you a six, and it won't let me! This is so beautiful, memories of a time gone by, it is lovely that we have them, it keeps our loved ones alive. This poem was a real pleasure to read! xsx Sandra

This is so beautiful. It surely deserves a six. You must have not fancied the gym and went rowing instead. There you met your father who is no more. I loved the structure and the subject. Consider it free style and such a beautiful memory of your father.

Wow! When I started reading I did not expect such a loving tribute.

Your words carried me on that journey with you. I felt a pang of sadness at the bend.

Thank you for sharing.

    I understand how you feel Sharyn. My mother has been gone for almost 40, and I still remember her. It no longer saddens me when I think of her, because I know she is always with me. :)

Beautiful poem reflecting life and paddling back in your mind when your father was alive and wishing your son had the chance to meet him, so touching

Great job

This sounds like either a lovely dream or a beautiful memory of your father, Sharyn. If it is a memory of a loved one passed, you couldn't have honoured it more. Well done.

Regards, Jen

This is simply awesome;very touching as you are the link between the generations in your family. You seem so effortless and skilled in your writing. You are the glass hull cutting through the waters of time, swiftly, cleanly, propelled by the oars of your keen eyes, both inner and outer. The six should have gone to this but I saw the other first.

A lovely poem. I like the way you start off in the gym and end up in remembering your father and a younger you rowing down the Brisbane River.Lovely too the way you have set out your words, as if they are as one with the oars.
