A precious moment
A sweet, treasured memory
A part of my life

The shimmering sun
The wide grins on our faces
The cloudless, blue sky

An old photo
An irreplaceable thought
Never forgotten

I love the beginning line. And I whole-heartedly agree with the message. Photos are the things—can't find the right word right now—that capture those fleeting moments in life that mean so much to us. Sorry, for taking forever to comment on work. Long week....

I love this poem, as well. But, I do agree with Jade.I.Am., the poem could have used a bit more description or imagery. Your poem is absolutely beautiful though! Great job, keep up the great work!!1

That exactly the way to describe a photograph! I love that. This poems really relateable and short and can be interpreted and imagined in millions of ways! Bravo!

Hey! :) loved this poem; it really captures a setting forever enclosed in a photograph. Its short yet full of meaning. I hope you write more poems like this! Word choice was very good and teh imagery is phenomenal. Keep it up :P

Hey there! I actually thought your word choices were well chosen. You used good, nice descriptive words. I am so happy that you chose the word 'grin' over smile. Usually people would go for the word smile, so bravo. I liked this. I think you conveyed this memory, this picture very well. It's pretty and simple. Your descriptions are very clear and visual. Good job!
