This poem started out reminding me of the song Boulder to Birminham by Emmylou Harris. It has a nice meter and rhyme loved it.

I Picked Up The Picture By Richard Martin
Jeffrey Weese said:
is a compelling and poignant piece that beautifully captures the tumultuous emotions of love lost. Martin\'s language is simple yet deeply evocative, masterfully conveying a narrative of heartache and longing. The imagery of the discarded wedding photo serves as a powerful metaphor for a cherished relationship that has been carelessly cast aside. The repetition of the action—picking up the picture—resonates with echoes of trying to pick up the pieces of a shattered relationship.
The emotion Martin has poured into this piece is palpable. Each verse is laced with a tangible sense of yearning, regret, and despair. The poet\'s effective use of direct speech brings the reader closer to the raw emotions, giving the poem an intimacy that\'s hard to look away from. Despite the melancholy theme, the poem is not without its beauty. In fact, it\'s through these shared human experiences of pain and loss that Martin\'s work truly shines, reminding us of the universal nature of love and heartbreak.
