Fathers Day Poems

Write your own unique poem for your Father, Husband, Son and / or Grandson for Father’s Day. This might seem more difficult than it really is, so here are some quick pointers that may help.

Some Poetry hints:

  • Keep it simple
  • It does not need to rhyme
  • Jot down some ideas or thoughts about the person that you are writing about
  • Make a theme – love, appreciation, humor, etc.
  • Select a style (optional)
  • May help to write your poem to follow a structure
  • Copy the tune /rhythm of your father’s favorite song
  • Try to write a first draft (will not be perfect and don’t try to be perfect)
  • Revise a couple of times (take a few breaks)

Here is a cute anonymous example of a Father’s Day Poem:

Daddy, I Love You

Daddy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Father's Day.
