Picture In A Frame (Acrostic)

by Jacob   Jan 8, 2007


Pieces of life
Inside little boxes of hope.
Captured memories
Treasured at leisure;
Unspoken emotions
Remembered forever,
Echoing times long past.

Intimate ghosts and
Nascent dreams.

Amounting to nothing, but nothing itself.

Fleeting moments are meant to fade
Rarely are they meant to stay
And yet they're all we have at times
Memo's of a better life
Enduring the test of time

    Wow, excellent! Such a great poem, I'm very impressed.
    You did an amazing job of explaining all the things pictures are to people, physically and emotionally, without actually stating "pictures in a frame" other than in the title. That's work of a true poet ;)

    "there" in the last stanza, 3rd line, should be : they're

    ^ It's important not to mix up their/there/they're... People will take you more seriously.

    Keep up the good work! I could be biased because I adore the cleverness of acrostics, but this is a better one than most.

    Definitely 5/5
