"For Grandad"

uh....

An hour ago last year.. My Grandad passed away and in honour of one of the most amazing men to live in my eyes. I posted a poem so you could know some of him to

For Grandad.

Sssh, it’s quiet now
I don’t hear your voice
I miss that loud laughter
And your soothing noise

Stop, don’t go away
Sit, talk more about the boys
Tell me of your RAF days
While painting your toys

Come, sit next to me
On the leather chair
Let me lay on your belly
As you gently pat my hair

Don’t, don’t walk away
I’m here to listen now
Teach me of so many things
Tell me why and how

Hold, hold my hands
They’re as cold as ice today
You say ‘They’re bloody freezing!’
And in your hands they stay

Look, how much I’ve grown
In body and in mind
You tell me just how proud you are
You always are so kind

Smile, at all of us
We are all here for you
Nanny’s cooking dinner
We know you love your food

Thank you, for every time
And everything you are
I think of you every day
Even though you are so far

I love you, more –
Than words can ever say
But thank you,
Grandad; for everything, today.

Hahahahaha.

Forza you are a pathetic excuse for a human being. You have no respect for a fellow human being. I honestly, without an inch of doubt, wish a slow and painful death on your mother, one where you must watch her suffer slowly. Then I will personally stand next to you laughing my head off as your emotions are laid bare and you are left in pain. Nothing would please me more than that. So, my only question is what terminal desease to wish upon her, hmm cancer is overplaid, AIDs, I bet that'll be interesting. You piece of scum.

No i know.

I am creative writing student believe me i look at this poem and its terrible - as a literary piece

But it explains my grandad. Times with him and how i feel

It paints the pictures, not in a master of words way.

I can't believe thats you azul, someone i used to talk to and get along with. Well - you really are a peni arent you.

I really liked that bought a smile to my face. And a tear to my eye because it was so lovely!

Okay, it's a very nice thought and everything, but it isn't a very good poem.
It's pretty generic "mopey teen" fare, to be honest.

Oh, I will say the poem wasn't my cup of tea though. But then again, I don't like poetry.

Meh, I like it.

I think I remember you writing a different one last year (?).

Very sweet, straight from the heart!

Just an insensitive tw@t then?

Seriously, you don't like the poem, big whoop, but why feel the need to come in and start telling her to cut her hands off?

I'm sure had you said, "meh, not for me", or something she would have taken it as a comment on the poem, but the way you phrased it was just plain dumb.

If only you'd thought that in the first place.
