My father's day poetry open mic

I participated in a poetry/storytelling open mic named #Anthem conducted by Artociate this Sunday. It was special for me since it was father's Day and I could begin the open mic by dedicating a poem to my dad. My dad has been and will always be one of my greatest pillar of support. I presented my four poems in that open mic based on the common theme of "Father's Day". They are as follows

The first one is for my dad( this poem is the end of this link here)- http://dsaidso.blogspot.com/2018/06/fathers-day.html?m=1


On father's day, we see messages overflowing with Happy father's day. What would someone whose father is no more feel like? Trying to pen my thoughts from the perspective of a girl whose father is no more.  My second poem on that one-- http://dsaidso.blogspot.com/2018/06/i-wish-to-see-dad-calling.html?m=1


Any image or depiction of parents , at least by Indian society standards portrays them in a very positive light, who would sacrifice anything and everything for their children. What about a dad who is so full of himself to the extent I call such a dad a narcissist dad. Penning a poetry from the perspective of a child who has a narcissistic father.  Such a child would struggle to even share with someone how his/her dad really is. Nobody would believe this. Hence trying to pen down the feelings of such a child-http://dsaidso.blogspot.com/2018/06/my-dad-is-really-like-this.html?m=1

This poetry is for my husband , who always had a chill , carefree attitude but after our daughter Swara was born changed into a responsible and loving father -http://dsaidso.blogspot.com/2018/06/to-carefree-yet-loving-dad.html?m=1
