How Do You Start A Fathers Day Poetry Tradition?
Poetry is a soothing balm for the mind and soul. It can be used to convey deep sentiment in an uplifting, lyrical way. Not surprisingly, poetry is frequently featured at public ceremonies commemorating all kinds of events. People instinctively respond to poetry on a profound emotional level. This makes poetry perfect for celebrating any sort of sentimental occasion. Assign each person in the family (except for Dad) to write one poem for Father’s Day. Poems can be long or short and can conform to any standard poetry style (such as couplets or haikus). Sit down with the whole family (minus Dad) a week before Father’s Day to read your poems to each other. This will give you all the opportunity to offer critiques and suggestions for improvements on each other’s poems. Remember, everyone may not be completely done with their poems at this point. Print out everyone’s poems on good-quality linen paper, using a pretty, scroll-like font. Start doing this at least a day before Father’s Day. Buy
