Developing Negatives

Developing Negatives

When life appears gloomy
Patiently wait for the picture
Unfolding in the dark room

Amidst the developing medium
The negative transforms to ...
A gift of indescribable beauty.

you have describe this wonderfully, in fact the poem is a picture of your awesome ability. try free verse as the form for your poem, Diane, it is much better than "I don't know" the poem deserves it......

Thank you Harry I will take up your suggestion. I am still learning about forms. I write because of what I feel not so much as what I have learned. I have learned a few forms and have tried some yet often I just love the freedom of not having to label something.
