Great poem! The ending is great, lol. I mean, ultimately this is an "ode to dad" poem since so much of it is about him, but just like how we always have our former child-self in us (the one in awe of dad), we also have our form teenager-self in us, for which os the one in annoyance of dad/mom/parent(s). Its like we watched the speaker go from an 8 year old to an 18 year old in the span of some stanzas.

Great poem! This is what Prufrock was looking for on his way to his social gathering. He just wanted to see some nakedness from within windows.

Great pacing and use of mechanics. I love when poets utilize punctuation efficiently.

You just inspired me to order one of his books of poetry. I wasnt familiar with his work until you posted these 2 poems. Thank you!
