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.
Good luck in the contest.

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
