Progeny

They say the apple 
doesn't fall 
far from the tree, 
but my spawn, 
(a better poet 
than me) is 
an oak of 
his own.

Thank you Paul. Proud of innumerable things about my son. 6 years Asst. Prof. Humanities and Science, Embry Riddle University. Only now has time for his personal writing, and just had poem accepted. Yay!
