Notes About The Poem

Dilettante Photographer

Dilettante photographer
You have the eyes of your mother
A tigress A hunter
Seeking beauty in its lair

Be it fleeting transient
Chasing rainbow variables
Seizing its essence
Capturing its soul
Dragging home the trophies

Orchestrating your sanctuary
Your mosaic of riches
Your inner sanctum
Making it your own
