Picture a moment in time
Held captive in a frame
Old memories come back to life
Treating us to glimpses
Of treasures from the past

Photo In Monochrome

Behind frosted glass

            Visions of a silver moon

                              Traces of nitrate

When posing for a photo-op
      do not suck a lollipop

      stuck his tongue out, orange and blue

Saved Photo

Today, I was successful.
I wrote a poem, on a scrap paper, before tossing it away.
The sky is blue, and you are not.
Cook your chicken in a pot.

Premium Member Love you !

Thinking of you this morning.
Sending you a kiss via this selfie.
Write back or call me.

Her Face In the Photo

There a she is 
viewed to the right 

My willow aslant a brook
it is in her eyes
I remember

Still there her wistful glance
Oh my !
I  still do love her

Premium Member the photo lies

sitting close
is not enough
for entwinement 
for if heart hesitates 
magic of love is denied
and spontaneity is scarred
crippling vibrance of innocence

Lost Photo

He had her In his heart And his pocket As he left for war He lost her From his pocket always in his heart

An Old Photo

Your smiling photo never frowns,
the twinkle in your eyes remains;
I wish to step into that scene,
and cure my heart of all its pains.

Vintage photo hanged 
In the defaced wallpaper 
A remembrace of years
Recollected and encased
In the cedar chiffonier

Mom’s Photo Secret

Mom said, “No sex before marriage,”
With rules she thought were quite sage.
But in her wedding shot,
I see a twist in the plot—
Was her vow just a part of the age?

Premium Member Photo Albums

Family albums:
photographs that tell
different stories
from the lives we're living.
Old secrets frozen in time...
history in a flash...
mystery around the edges.

Premium Member Funny Photo

Atrocious breath on the brazen trout,
My dachshund backed out without a doubt.
Photo filled me with glee,
I’m so glad I could see,
My honest dog with his eyes bugged out.

Premium Member Here's one for posterity

Come on... smile for me.
Show me that big old silly grin.
Cross your eyes & say cheese ~

Pretty Photo

Have a blessed birthday, Kayla, 
Have your pretty photo taken; 
Click a selfie from camera, 
Before you read the poem I pen.

Premium Member May I Take a Photo of Your Dog

May I please take a photo of your dog?
The man nodded
The wife said “that is up to him”
The dog gave him the eye
“perfect!” the photographer said
He snapped the photo and the dog growled.

In a Photo

No vivid re-telling
But in mind only
Which inconceivable realness
Of years, most approved.

And now, for the next hour's
Discarded mem'ry
Is everything, and of each
Dull moment so proved!

The Soldier

I saw a battled frame
housing a black 
and white photo
of a hero 
in war, 

proudly posing
hiding his fear, 
his fragility

some family's pride
and country's

creased, 
in a junk shop

Premium Member To a Pondered Photo

Like commode water
Once cherished times
Were flushed from the mind,

Cherished times pooled
Beneath observable wants
Leaving the pacifier of friendship
Resting between the lips of our souls.
