Leon Enriquez Poet Couplet

Sepia Photos

Chance flavours time
As wit strings rhymes


Old ancient ways
In buried stay


Old picture book
Brown sepia looks


Old times live on
***** yet beyond


Old photos here
Milestones once dear


Old memoirs style
Strange faces file


Old beyond trace
Haunting this space


Old brown sepia
Quaint black media


Ancient old wits
Lost times, blown bits

Edlynn Nau August 19, 2015 at 3:36 AM ABSOLUTLY SPLENDID and what I thought going through my Mom's old photo's when she passed. The last verse is perfect and love that it kind of says, that try as we may, even the photos go away! SUGGESTION: 4th couplet...maybe a better word to rhyme with torn? Forlorn? Old one's forlorn...In album torn? Something like that but on and torn don't rhyme. Edlynn Nau August 19, 2015 at 4:36 AM I think more than 4th couplet gives the touch of the ancient! All the first lines begin with "Old", 2nd couplet has "ancient ways", & last one has "ancient old wits"! ITS JUST LOVELY! Leon Enriquez August 19, 2015 at 3:58 AM Dear Edlynn: See the change in stanza 4. I think it gives the poem a touch of ancient memories. Leon Leon Enriquez August 19, 2015 at 3:53 AM Dear Edlynn: Thank you. Glad this poem delighted you. Yes, I agree that the rhyme in the 4th couplet does not sound right. The reason why I did not try to make changes was because I was in the hurry just now. I will make the change here to make it smoother. Thank you for your comments. All the best then, Leon.
