Behind Closed Doors

Father -- role model Chooses words so carefully Nurtures his image... In back rooms, behind closed doors Shocks me with vulgarity

I don't think so. I just think that it's characteristic of someone who wants to cover up his dark side. Thanks so much for the feedback. Best wishes, gw

A case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde... happens far too often. Good poem, Gershon.

'Two-faced' comes to mind as well. Thanks for the view and the viewpoint, Line. ~ gw

can sadly relate with my own father GW not with vulgarities but he made out he was something he wasn't and it galls when I hear folk heaping praise on him when they never really knew him:-( hugs Jan xx

Wow. Very similar experiences we had, Jan, although I can't say that I was bitter toward my father in any way. In many ways he was an immigrant trying to hold his own in a dog-eat-dog rat race. :) gw
