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?
Tis indeed - some 70 plus years ago - a past life or so it seems.
Such nostalgic words reflecting a past distanced by sepia. Moments frozen in time long gone leaving only the fragrance of moments lost. Lovely Michael
Cheers sb - great praise indeed.
You are most welcome
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.
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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Wonderfully done, my friend!
Beautifully written
Those memories in old photographs can be so emotive Michael.
Andy
have to many of these - when the kids visit - they take the albums out, and relive beautiful precious bygone moments
