In Response To Carolyn Devonshire

In Response to Carolyn Devonshire Artist Ansel Adams and a Deceased War Veteran Widow Beautiful things begin by being black and white So you can start off and get things right Saving a place for each picture in your heart Even though his and my mind are miles apart. At another great picture of his will look And then think about all of the time it took To explain in a black and white picture form, A bright day about to become a big storm Her renderings were all that remain behind It was not pleasant or ever very kind While her husband had been buried below She may be only one who will know. Why shouldn't next thing be a necessity? Which will replace all of her self-pity That does provide pride in what we do; Why shouldn't her dreams have come true? It is so sad now that only remains Memories covered with miserable tear stains When she had taken her last look back There are things in this picture it does lack. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
