Selfie Poems

Difficult Generation

Abraham born before Jesus
They were born holding selfie.
They booked flight from the womb
Are the children of this generation.

They speak louder without sense
Yet wiser than Solomon himself
They sees beyond their parents
With food remnants on their mouth.

Right in the womb they ate wheat
Before they were born they saw you
What is it you know I don't know
Says a

You take picture of yourself
Over wooden bridge.

Premium Membercalf selfie

Calf takes his nap around three, come on by.
He likes having a selfie, though I know not why.
So, I took a close up, and saw his nostril hair.
Calf did not like it, but I did not care.

Premium MemberShe Really Wanted that Selfie

She really wanted that selfie
Her relatives said
But now of course
The silly girl was dead

You do not get a selfie in a shark’s mouth said Mr Uncooth
The last thing you see is his giant tooth

Premium MemberWhen Life Is A Meme

like a selfie 
that wasn’t taken
I’m the guy in the street

I know 
you’re captioning me
from your side of the road

and the shops 
with their massive eyes
are making me too viral

Full Version of a Picture Is Worth a 1000 Words

They say a picture Is worth a 1000 words, 
Yet the realisation that all I have left are pictures 
Actually Renderes me speechless
Apparently the adage is actually meant that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
And

Premium MemberThird Grade Recitation

My cousin and I were dismayed
By the kids who were in her third grade
They had no answers to tell
Though they spoke very well
And knew how impressions were made!

They earned an A+ for endurance
For displaying remarkable effluence
They could babble all night
With no fact in sight
Nor any sign of congruence! 

Oh, how wise we thought that we

Premium MemberSelfie

I am the slab of clay in your hands
mould me into a shape that you like

I am the blank canvas for your brush
paint a picture, perfect and bright

I am the naked mannequin
let me model all your finery

I am the smile painted on your face
 showing the world all is well

I am the contrived version of

Premium MemberSanta Left a Selfie

The two brothers had stayed up late
Hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa
Maybe they had hoped to get his photo.
Santa slipped their phone off the chair
He took a quick selfie and laid it back down. 
They would no doubt be delighted in the morning

Premium MemberPicture Me the Selfie

a limited window
           to confront the view
a repertoire
of
imagery 
      in visual representation
to frequent
         bloom
perfect
   delicate moments

to remind
  the frailty
of
  close up
