Melani Udaeta Poet Other

Candid Capture Trimeric

Not quite the version of real time,
caught calm in a candid capture;
At once the art fades away,
burned from memory into a filter;

Caught calm in a candid capture;
A  moment ago you were boiling,
finale fireworks on the Fourth of July;

At once the art fades away,
left in awe of your explosion;
Fanned fire cooled to low key;

Burned from memory into a filter,
changed your speed way too fast;
Emotional hand read 'Move On.'

Jeff Kyser April 6, 2022 at 12:06 PM Melani, that's a really neat form. Your monotetra the other day was new to me as well. I'm not very good at understanding poetry, but this makes me think of times when I see something, bring my camera out, and by the time I've gotten it out, I've a) missed seeing the moment myself, and b) missed capturing it on the camera as well. Melani Udaeta April 7, 2022 at 6:30 AM Yes. Moments are so very fleeting. That is why photographs are precious. Have a wonderful day.
