Notes About The Poem

Thanks to Evelyn Judy Buehler, whose remarkable poem, "Cherry and Plum" (posted January 02, 2020), has inspired this short write. 

Engagement

A photo captures a moment
                   then imperceptibly fades
 
A painting makes a deep impression
                   that dims in memory's mists

A poem engages her reader
                   altering perceptions
                           creating new networks
