Continuing with ideas from the book. This time, "Photographs".
Remember to share:
Tabatha Yeatts has created a link to poems teachers and librarians can print for poetry month, titled "Poetry in The Halls". I'm grateful to be one of the poets!
Jama Rattigan has a post HERE with many poets' goals for April.
The Progressive Poem schedule can be found on the right!
I chose one of my own photos, a school one from second grade. Remember, sepia or black and white back in the day!
Retro
When I gaze upon the photograph
Of me
I see
A little girl whose face just makes me laugh
And pause
Because
I wonder what that countenance holds in?
Perhaps she chose to do without the grin?
Still me
I see
In having lingering thoughts of years ago,
I’m glad I bring all kinds of times to know
like round
Eyes brown
Reminds me of the sweet times in the past.
Each moment savored now to make them last.
