Fading Photographs

Congratulations Inky. "Or am I just a silenced star, disguised as a poet, weaving heart-shaped dreams with ethereal flames." I love it. Some memories are bound to photographs, other are bound to age, reoccurrence and growth. Lovely write.

Congratulations. Loved your first line.

Congratulations on your winning work. Way to go. Delighted to see you name on the winners' list. Sara K

The images in sepia came over me, that undescribable melancholy one feels when going back through time you have captured so well. Congratulating you on your win, Empress!

Magnificent imagery encapsulated in a small but powerful write! I love the "silenced star, disguised as a poet". Profound descriptions that are uniquely yours. Congratulations Ink.

Feeling this, very much enjoyed Ink!

You always know how to say so much in only few words and you have really done this in only six lines.. There is a really spiritual nature in your poem with the ethereal flames and also a haunting nature of being forgotten... Best of luck in the contest..

This is very thought provoking. Are those old photographs part of reality? Or do we fit them into life?

the fading joys of a sepia sadness brought to life in this snapshot poem

Dear Ink Empress, So well written and beautifully captures the essence of nostalgia and the passage of time. It is sad to know that we do have those "fading photographs" and "sepia frames," and as I glance at my old pictures, they evoke a sense of longing for moments gone by, just like your poem. It is a very good question for can it withstand the test of time and weather life's storms. Aging is not always kind but then again, it is essential to all things. I have often thought about how do I digitize all my photos and videos so that there is a sense of permanence to give children and grandchildren and... Thank you, as always for creating emotions in me, the reader. An emotional FAV. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Love a piece that ends in a heart stopping question… the way u make the little specs of elements move a moment in just a few lines !!! Absolutely divine

Absolutely beautiful, Ink! I adored 'weaving heart-shaped dreams with ethereal flames.' Stunning images.

You are not a silenced star, but a shining star. From you flow ethereal poetic flames. Dear Empress, you are a wonder, a twinkling diamond, filling hearts with poetic delight.

exquisitely fine ' weaving heart-shaped dreams with ethereal flames...' the soft images of your poesy shine, ink! blessings

Regardless, YOU are true. Loved "a timeless sunrise that no rain can erase"

IE you are weaving many etheral flames, not disguised but fully a poet!
