to come across graciously, perhaps preventing the reader from reacting negatively. “A continual process” is unassuming as opposed to “the continual process.” A phrase like “Saying yes,” conveys a more optimistic personal choice than “accepting” for the welcoming of enlightened, joyous moments along with failure and life lessons. The phrase “not widely understood” comes across as critical but not harsh. “Trendy” taps into negative connotations, something ephemeral and superficial. The dashes,…

it, there are two contrasting ideas that can be visualized. He uses certain words that are playful while also using words that have a clearly negative connotation to tell this story between a father and son. Other times, there is ambiguity in the phrases he chooses. Even the rhythm of the poem can have different meanings to different people. It all depends on which words stand out to the reader.
