With only a few days left until Fathers Day 2010 (remember it’s almost here – June 20th this year!) it’s time to start thinking about what we’re going to get for our Dad this year.
Cards and Gifts are traditional presents for Father’s Day and are always much appreciate, but taking the time to create a unique poem for your Father will make the day even more special.
If the thought of writing a poem sends you into a state of panic, don’t worry. It’s really not as difficult as you think.
Remember, you’re not writing a poem that’s going to be published in a book, or read by thousands. You’re going to be writing a poem that is going to be read by just one very special person – your Father.
To start the process, find a nice quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for 30 minutes, or so. (That’s really how long this process should take.)
Grab a pencil and a few sheets of blank paper and settle into a comfortable chair.
Start by thinking of words that describe your Father. Things like – strong, funny, hairy ( 
) or whatever fits your Dad. Try to come up with around 20 of these adjectives.
Next, look at that list and think of words that rhyme with the list you have. For instance, “long” rhymes with “strong.
Once you have both lists done, it’s time to put them together into sentences. At this point, it should be fairly easy to write a ten to fifteen line poem using the words you’ve written down.
That’s really all there is to it. You have a simple, yet heart-felt poem for Fathers Day that your Dad will remember forever!
