I’m trying a new product this week: a poem inspired by a song, which you can read along with the song. This week’s poem was inspired by Hans Zimmer’s song ‘The Dream is Collapsing’, and by some of my own heart wrenching memories of families in conflict affected countries. Start reading when the track reaches 1.36 minutes.

I’m so glad that you like my everyday musings, and hope that you will keep coming back. I’m currently posting a new poem every week (lets see how long I can keep that up, in between the household duties!). Please also consider telling your friends and networks about PoemsofaDad. Perhaps someone else out there will, in some small way, like one of my poems as much as you. Poems – like children – keep us young (ok, also a little frazzled – and possibly dazzled – but young nevertheless 🙂 ).

Thank you very much for your interest in PoemsofaDad: the everyday musings of an everyday dad.

I know. Mondays are terrible, with more than enough to read and do. Whereas Fridays are awesome, with a little more space for the finer things in life: perfect timing for my ‘poem of the week’!

Every Friday morning (Central European Time), I’ll publish a new poem for (what I hope will be) your reading pleasure 🙂
