A Camera's Eye
How deftly my camera seduces this chance
If circumstance allotted, or thus, I knew somehow
Could earn the winsome smile, or to steal his favored glance
To apprehend and keep the promised vow
Captivate his warrant, or a furrow of his brow
So safely captured within the frame
If once, I knew, he'd look my way just now,
And fondly gaze at me , with eyes the camera claims
~
A cloud appears, the shutter snaps
And though his smile was long
A raindrop falls, the thunder claps…
Too soon the moment gone,
The rain pours down, he runs for cover
My fleeting chance is over
Inspired by Dr. Ram's contest
Spenserian Sonnet
