People knock it, but the sound of a well-played banjo is something that can just reach right in and make you smile.
I love it myself.
Beauty of a poem, dude. Well done.

Your dad's probably having a ball entertaining everyone up in Heaven stringing on the ol' banjo. They are always such a pleasure to hear, when one knows how to play them correctly. Enjoyed this ... the stanzas, the rhymes worked very well.

It's amazing how music can bring such joy. A simple instrument like a banjo can make a family happy and leave them with memories. Easy to read and flowed. Could almost hear the banjo in the background as I read.

A wonderful tribute to your father. The cadence flowed nicely due to the alliteration, consonance and assonance throughout the poem. A pleasure to read.

This is a very touching poem. I am a musician and relate to this tender tribute to your father.
Only one line made me stumble a bit:
Then, nothin' he couldn't do
Best of luck in the contest with this fine poem.
:-) Jackie

My daddy left scrolls of sci-fi stories he'd written on a tele-type. The paper came off in rolls, and I have them tucked away. It's my daddy's 'banjo'; our memories of his love and life. Thanks for sharing yours. Your daddy would be proud. Blessings, Deb

"Daddy's Banjo" is a beautifully written tribute to a father who left you with such strong memories. Vivid imagery and your strong descriptive scheme allowed me to paint a picture of "Daddy" and his banjo in my mind as I read on. No corrections needed. kay

God just needed a good banjo player In heaven. Beautifully written and easy to follow. You was blessed to have such a talented and loving father to grow with.
