Photographs hanging on a clothesline
Some in color, some black and white
My picture is pinned right up with theirs
In the sky filled with cumulus clouds

Painting Pictures
What shades of colours do we paint
while walking on this earth?
Do we leave behind a masterpiece?
or a squiggle with no worth?
Will the colours that we choose
look vibrant, - do they shout?
Or are they like dull grey lead lines
so easily rubbed out.
Are all the brush strokes that you paint
precise, done with finesse?
Or are they like thick

Pictures On My Walls
Pictures plastered on my offwhite walls.
Some coloured, some drawn, some art.
Some represent where I walked in halls.
Some represent deepest parts of my heart.

Big Pictures
There are people with whom
One might disagree at certain levels.
The dividing levels might even be ones
Of insensitivity, discouragement,
And even hurtfulness.
Notwithstanding such disagreements,
One might yet endorse and support
Such a one on other, more vital levels.
In so doing, one should see it, not as
a conflict of interest, but rather as
a higher view of the big picture.

The Date and Calendar
"Nothing changes but the date on the calendar." By Poet
We love our pretty calendars holding our favorite pictures.
Many pictures of cute animals,
some of majestic land or sea views.
Each month changes with new pictures to enjoy.
We circle the dates we need to remember,
never wanting to forget our appointments or events.
I like to

Plagued By Memories
Everywhere I turn,
a new memory visits—
a simple hair tie
sitting beside the hair clip
in the medicine cabinet.
A Bright Eyes t-shirt still lays at the bottom of the laundry basket.
The blue nursing uniform, and the pink stethoscope—marked with the initials “K.C.”—
a treasure,
a marking of a calling so great.
The letter from the hospital offering a placement
to a young,

Pictures of Ancestral Images
No colder winter's evening reawakens, in an abrupt
glance, this memory from others already faded
in the inattentive recollection of a son's mind;
even insignificant moments are worthy of thought.
A pubescent boy unlearned and precarious at giving advice,
but ready to provide that tenderness in exploding emotions...
realizing that he would reach the same level of consciousness:
whether or not his

Pictures on my wall
Pictures on my walls,
I make them feel so alive.
They don't laugh, they don't cry.
I don't smile, I don't frown.
My frames have no picture,
I'm wanted by no one.
My pictures tell stories
I stare back so boredly
They are just, pictures on my walls
they've lived more than I have.

Shameless Selfies
I often take a shameless selfie
Of myself dining or travelling gleefully
And post it on my Facebook
Or Instagram page immediately
Some people say it's quite conceited
To paste your mug so much
Of displaying your contentment
When in reality your life may be otherwise
So easy on your selfies
It's really not all self-toot
Just a way of keeping in

Faded Photographs
Sometimes the only solace to loneliness
is the fading photographs around me...
many pictures in black and white, some of them
are in albums, some on the wall - in ornate
frames, which I would never replace!
The oxidized metal carries the aroma of the past,
Pictures speak to us, aloneness dissipates!
The picture of my mom and dad
on their wedding day…the beaming

Fading Photographs
The pictures I found in storage tucked away,
A reminder of joy from another day.
Though colors fade, the memories remain,
Your face still fills my heart with sweet refrain.
That smile, divine, forever etched in time,
A moment captured, frozen and sublime.
But shadows blur the names I used to know,
And yet the

Pictures she fakes
She updated her picture on Facebook today
Smilling by flowers, nothing to get in her way
On seeing the picture I just couldn't hate
The person she is, though she's made me this way
I noticed that she had put on weight
I'm skinner then her now a fact she will hate!
She's always been superficial about looks
Its clear

PICTURE THIS
Black-and-white or colour taken...
Photographs of which awaken
A thousand words, dispelling...
Prominence out of their telling.
Faces of such presentation...
Still expressions, preservation.
Stature, posture, embrace - whether
In solitude or together.
Times of past presence revealing
Emotions in all of their feeling.
Never-ending of a story...
Moments captured in their glory.
Forever young and over the hill...
Albums they create and fill.
Positives displayed physically...
Permanence for the

YOUR PICTURES AND MEMORIES
Pictures all through my house
It gives me great memories of you throughout
I know you had dreams you wanted to pursue
But all I can say is I love you
Your picture always comes to me at night
And let me tell you it's a beautiful sight
I will always miss you
When you left I had no clue
We always had
