Interesting, I liked the poem. I also enjoyed the occasional alliteration :-)

Excellent poem :-) and I'd do just that, if only there were no lectures to attend...

P.S. I feel this version is much better than the previous one, which I found somewhat muddled.

You seem to need about 6 more lines between "hello" and "your poison". And a different last line. Other than that, I like it. Especially the rhyme and half-rhyme.

A strawberry bounces like a blueberry? That seems kind of sloppy.
"bad to wear by monkeys" needs rephrasing. Otherwise, good.

It's a lot like being a virgin, except that you get to have sex.

You've admitted to being sloppy about grammar, so I'll do it for you:
Memoirs of a miner's son
Anvil-eyed, my Father glanced at me.
"Dress me well for Karen", he said.
He drew his breaths like a hero's sword
As I brushed his hair with still hands.
This man would leave for work golden
And return a shadow who left my lips black,
reading me Whitman as I slept
and living poetry each day I woke.
My Father was Sicilian;
The miners called him Brando,
My Mother called him Darling,
And I just called for him.
And he'd always return to me
With something carved from coal.
He had no last words for me,
Just a smile and a squeeze of my hand,
And then he was twenty three again
In a Daimler with Karen,
Driving to Loch Lomond
With forty two shillings,
Two smiles and two rings,
And her Father's wrath.
Good. All-around good.

Oh, and this is your most poetic poem to date. That's a compliment, meaning it doesn't look like it was written by a malfunctioning word-generator.

Cool. Even with the forced line-ends. The second-to-last line needs punctuating.

A general writing suggestion: Don't pair practically every noun with a single adjective. Drop some of them. Make some strings of adjectives. You've already said octogenarian; don't say "old" veteran. Don't say "uneven" sidewalk; just try to suggest the sidewalk was uneven in a different way, like the veteran stumbled along the sidewalk, or the veteran caught his toes on the sidewalk. And so on.
