Excellent! My dad also played the banjo (not as well as yours) and so it made me recall the fun he had picking on it. Nice imagery calling it his only toy.

The rhythm flows nicely and the rhyme is unforced.

Good job

Very sweet and sincere. It is nice to have memories and nicer that you write about them for all future generations to see. Well done.

The banjo--it's such a happy instrument. It has the capacity to deliver songs of great depth with a light-hearted approach. Make sense? Your poem has a ballad sense to it, how the banjo dredges up all these childhood memories of your father, of his songs and their imprint on your childhood.

Lovely poem.
Merle

Hi Six,
This is a lovely tribute to you dad. Must have been great having a musician in the family to cheer everybody up.

Good rhyming words also.

Good luck in the contest
