Hey there,

Hope you’re having a great day.

I would like to inform you that the poem daddy is a well known poem in the genre of "confessional poetry " written by one of the most famous poet of this genre "Sylvia Plath " . This poem is also a representation of plath's relationship with her father . Plath's father "Otto Plath" died when the author was only eight. The first few lines of the poem "you do not do you do not do anymore , in which I have lived like a foot " is meant to be simply a reminder that all her memories with her father are attached to only her childhood. Plath even exposes her intimacy with her husband which makes her poetry and this poem to be a true confessional poem .

Let me know if you have further clarifications by mentioning it in the comment section below.

Have a nice day and I wish that you have a bright future ahead.

Thanks.
