Kathie Shank Poet Rhyme

I Was the Picture In a Frame

I was the picture 
In a frame
A tornado moved
Me from the wall
Though my framework
Is bent and dented
I smile throughout
It all.
I was the picture 
In a frame
Raging floods
Carried me away
My framework
Swelled and molded
Still my smile
it did not sway
One day the sun 
Came shining through
Reflection fades to
Transparency
The effigy truly
Peeled and torn
IT WASN'T ME!
