Monochrome Photo

Monochrome photo

Black and white, shadows and light
What do you hide so deep in there?  
Behind those flowers that shine so bright
How so much beauty she hides inside her  
That we cannot see behind her hand
There is no bracelet or wedding band
With long flowing hair she’s quite a beauty
Maybe she feels she’s not doing her duty
Hiding under those hands so slender
Her heart is probably so very tender

The title caught my fancy because I am a photographer as well as a poet. The imagery of your words in this poem brought picture of the monochrome picture into my mind's eye. Thoroughly enjoyable read.
