Poetic Cratftiness

Dad, I’ve come of age;
Ready to follow suit,
Your literary path.

"Okay son go on,
Write your thoughts: 
Not only in lines,
Also in stanzas; lyrics
And prosaic formats."

Here dad, are my recently
Written creative pieces,
Hope improvement
They all profess/confess?

"Not better son,
Filled with creative lapses
And lack grammatical accuracy still!
Well, write on son,
Your poetic craft
Will be blossom pretty soon
‘Cos you’re just twenty-four."

Oh, thanks dad.
I promise my poetic craftiness
Will surpass yours
Before I’m fifty-four!"
