Wow! What a beautiful, spiritual dedication to your father, Clyve; he sounds like a wonderful man!
I thought the way you did the font in the form of the word dad was incredibly creative and unique. I'm curious how you were able to do that. Perhaps you could show me how it's done?
Anyway, once again, incredibly expressive poem, man!
There is no love like a father's love for his son...

Thank you, NewB. When I wrote this piece in 2012, my father was already 5 years dead, at the age of 99. I never thought of a name for the art work form until just now; I could see it as a content acrostic, since DAD spells features rather than just the word.
I remember using a table to create the shape. This limited the words to individual cells in which I then manipulated the computer space bar to get the curves. Time and patience were not in short supply.
I see you have been writing up a storm! We are, no doubt, drinking from the same fountain.
