A deeply moving reflection on memory, family, and time. The ending is especially powerful—the camera becomes a metaphor for life itself, quietly recording everything while we barely notice how quickly it passes.

I think we underestimate the Invention that is the Camera. We are in a better position than People Centuries back when they had to commit Faces to memory.
A fine Poem as usual. And Fave.

Nostalgia, memory, changing technology - it\'s all there, Thomas. It became my experience, rather than yours. This not to be taken as robbery but as the most enduring (goes with the photos) tribute I can make.

I\'ve always been fascinated by the Camera 📸 I\'m always fascinated by the fact it can do what it does and capture a moment in time that can be kept and looked at. I\'m not sure who invented it because when I do research it\'s quite difficult to understand, love your poem dear Thomas, my parents both gone now but I have them in photos. 🌹

Yes, once upon a time our parents had a black album full of pictures. Generations lived in those albums, and they had names.
Now we click and scroll, but the photo\'s aren\'t tangible, they don\'t feel like history in your hands, and maybe that\'\'s whats missing now.

This poem both literal and a metaphor takes me back to going through family pictures with my aunt. They were sepia and of over a hundred years ago of people some of which no one knew their names and some with names written that no one recognized. Then my family pictures of my children and wife and times long past. Times of fun, love and romance frozen in time memories. A wonderful write Thomas. Now I keep such photos in my head. A fave my friend

Thomas, I came expecting Tiny Tim and instead found myself witnessing some very attentive horticulture! This is playful, intimate, and deliciously improper. Loved it, my friend! 😂🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

In the night garden, given its almost meditative cadence, its pacing stays patient and attentive, listening to the landscape rather than rushing it. A vivid piece shaped with care. 🕊️👍🏻

As always Thomas: A fine write. It sounds so Idyllic. And the line about Forgetting Manners: Very true. These Balmy Nights will soon end sadly. Here at least.

It is the cleverness of the language and images that make this a piece of art instead of a gritty sexual piece it is seductive and sensual as nature is. It has the natural drive of reproductive nature wrapped in all its raw beauty. Tulips yes two lips at either end..... of this poem. A favorite kiss either way

I get what you mean about Colons, Semi Colons, Commas etc. It\'s a Minefield.
But don\'t Authors have Proofreaders to keep them right?
But you\'re right. As long as the feel and Smell of the Poem gets across: that\'s the main thing.
A fave .

I\'m not at all fond of poetry glorifying poetry as something special and by extension awarding the writer status as a ‘Poet’. That is not what I find this to be about. It’s honing and sharpening a tool of communication in order that it makes the greatest relevance to the reader. It’s a struggle but your results make it a worthwhile enterprise, Thomas.

Yeah, getting the story out before you forget it is hard enough, putting bloody commas, full stops, question marks in is brain knackering.
Poetry doesn\'t need them, it just has to say something.

Absolutely fantastic, Thomas! You capture the liberation of realizing that technique exists to serve expression, not restrain it. I love poetic form myself, but the living image and honest voice must always come first. You knocked this one out of the park, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

When I write a poem, I avoid the urge to do punctuation. Once the poem is written, I play with the punctuation. There are endless ways to punctuate a poem. I like the verse: \"Let the soul speak.\"

I love this poem Thomas it speaks the raw truth about writing where the feeling comes first and the rest can be edited later or maybe not if the feeling is best expressed the way it came out. I often write with deliberate errors to give a different feel and that is okay, even the program for poem analysis on All poetry gives a ten rating to some when changing it to proper English drops it to a five or less. Great message and another wonderful write

Beyond the course the companionship and the cat, golf as you tell it provides a focus which is just the right space to allow a member of your crew to feel safe when they divulge, confess, consolidate in their own time. No pressure, just the necessaary pace made clear here.

A good Poem as always. Good that things are fine with you. There is a Golf Course beside a Railway Station near me. And some of the Players \'Slice\' their shots. Standing on the Platform one day and a Ball just missed me. 🤕
Enjoyed.

What a beautiful piece, Thomas. The golf is almost beside the point by the end…what really stays is recovery becoming community, and experience becoming something you can hand forward to the next person. Quietly powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
