The ALB, Jr. Poems
A folder of poems inspired by my father's death
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (1)
There are few tears in this folder, none of the "what-will-I-do-without-you" type of grieving. In some cases, simply the mention of death is enough to associate the piece with my father's own death; it is not a subject I normally take on through my poetic journey.
