MISSING PHOTOS

MISSING PHOTOS

 

Displayed in albums widely owned

in sepia tinted monochrome

captured images displayed

affixed with mounts upon each page

all tucked away and rarely seen

with memories lost in gaps between.

    Superb rhyming, is that you young Sir?

    • Michael Edwards

      Tis indeed - some 70 plus years ago - a past life or so it seems.

    • sorenbarrett

      Such nostalgic words reflecting a past distanced by sepia. Moments frozen in time long gone leaving only the fragrance of moments lost. Lovely Michael

      • Michael Edwards

        Cheers sb - great praise indeed.

        • sorenbarrett

          You are most welcome

        • Doggerel Dave

          Rarely seen - but I know where they are when I need them.

          Great to see you here Michael; hope to see some more of your art soon.

            Will post more over the winter but health issues and a busy summer have meant poetry has gone on the back burner of late.

            • Doggerel Dave

              Health issues resolved, or at least under control?

              Keep well; take care.

              That you there? Or is it me? Or Mr Berles? lol.

              Michael, this poem breathes with absence...sepia silence, forgotten faces, memories slipping into the gaps between. It’s tender, haunting, and achingly human. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬› Wonderfully done, my friend!

            • FΓ­na Elara πŸŒ™ Petra Patrice

              Beautifully written

            • Goldfinch60

              Those memories in old photographs can be so emotive Michael.

              have to many of these - when the kids visit - they take the albums out, and relive beautiful precious bygone moments
