Love was captured in an old wrinkled photograph
~~~~~
Encaged and scratched
Its colours eroded by the sun
A snapshot of a moment in time, unrepeated
~~~~~
Even if now that time has passed
For those who remember the image along with the memories that follow
It is never tinted or crumpled or discarded
photos with drawn on facial hairs, scars, eye patch and well placed genitalia… or my favourite, faces of certain once important individual’s face scratched out
You are visually minded and it definitely “shows” in your writing. Try to explore the senses….can you imagine the possibilities
Will: Thanks very much for the feedback, much appreciated. I will keep the senses ready the next time the words come.
