Your poem is super long but there are a lot of good phrases in this poem to learn from if one takes heed. Thank you for sharing your work with us

Well this one could be a whole book in itself - and as a single "poem" I definitely think it's pushing the limits of a FS reviewer's attention span - perhaps split something like this in two or three parts next time? Has a little Kahlil Gibran feel here - but is overshadowed by the sheer quantity of words. Prune prune prune distil distil distil! :)

This poem is way too long! You really got carried away. You made many good points but It just didn't hold my attention at all. It has to be a language thing because the message does not come across clear. I can see you are very intelligent and sincere in your thoughts and I applaud your efforts. Nancy

Well, you sure do know a lot about life and we are sure grateful you have decided to write this book. Only thing I would suggest is that you try to cut it down. The less you have the bolder and more important the words seem.

Comment from smudge
This is a more simplified style and has a charm. It is very long and doesn't have the continuity to propel the reader along. The green is hard to read.

Comment from Dave Russell
Choppy, rambling, way way way way way way too long! Poor flow from thought to thought, hard to follow the conversational portions with "Dad" While you have some worthy thoughts here and there, they are completely lost in the length and rambling nature of this write.

Comment from Caressa_08
There are a lot of good phrases in this poem to learn from..all is not for all, nature keeps balance, harmony & all babies ask the secrets and truths of living, are some of my favorites...As a father to his son, to me, it seemed,it was a privilege to have a son who asked so many questions & that he could grant him answers, he felt fulfilled & he was proud...And, too liked the last line when he thanked God.

Comment from MidnightWriter4U
An excellent think about it poetic work. The following says it all; and is part of the reason some men refuse to follow the light as it takes from their feelings of being all powerful egos with ultimate control:
Each creation has a mission.
But we forget keeping a mission.
They treat prophets, avatars or saints mad.
Yes, man is the producer, God the Creator.
Why so dad?
Simply, man cannot create anything like God,
Whatever he produces are borrowed,
Man can only produce all for man,
Man lives only on God's Infinite Gifts.
Why all men are not immoral or immortal?
Enjoyed!

Comment from seewhatimwritingnow
First, I'd like to say this extremely long writing, could be cut down to two short paragraphs and still relay the same 'father to son' messages. Father tells his son that all people and animals are all different, that people are evil by choice and it's the son's duty to help others to change.
The father is explaining all of these simplistic things that everyone, with any sense at all, already knows. The 'graduate- schooled' son seems to have the intelligence of a child in kindergarten, considering his amazed state to learn these simple things. I think you know what you want to say, but just don't know how to say it- not sure you're getting your 'point' across, so you ramble on and on.
I DO have to say these writings are interesting.
