Notes About The Poem

Remembered

old faded polaroid~
the memory of yesteryear
distant and discolored
snapshot of a past
vague but not forgotten

A faded photo but not a forgotten memory, though vague - my dad loved his polaroid camera, but now with cell phones we capture a moment immediately. Terrific poem Line. Blessings, Jennifer
