I wrote this visual poem for a staff development on teaching writing.


My Dad always smelled of coffee and Old Spice.

I can see him now, sitting in the recliner with his feet propped up, slowly sipping a tall glass of milk.

While he sips, he works a wordsearch puzzle, his favorite before-bed activity.

His trifocals perched on the end of his nose, he slowly falls asleep in the chair, the puzzle book resting on his chest.
