Photographs

by Hannah Lizette   May 20, 2012


Looking through a lens,
you can capture just one moment,
in the blink of an eye.
Each photograph has a story,
breathes with emotion,
whispering to you.
True love,
precious babies,
weddings,
and dreams.
Catching memories,
that now can never fade.
Smiles,
Tears,
Laughter,
for you to treasure again.

    Photographs, are one memory captured from one perspective, but the beauty of the photographs is that we can see much more than just that perspective, we are taking into more angles that is if we were at the time the photo was taken.

    I agree with the last lines, they are for us to treasure.

    I wanted to read this right away because of the title, I love photographs, and I love them for all the reasons you have in this poem. I think you captured this excellently and showed just how special these are to us. No matter what happens we will always have the photo's. xx

    Photographs will always be part of our lives. They will record different segments and moments which we can look back on.

    They were once made from film, but now mostly digital, regardless of the format, they are always important records of who we are, what we have done and where we are from.

  • Too true! Love this little piece. It's brief, too the point. I love it's simplicity too - just goes to show you dont need a flashy big idea to write a great piece.
