Today’s Poem.
Snapshot
I take the photo.
Click.
Whir
Buzz.
Out slides the instant film.
A curiosity, attention grabbing, new-fangled thing
“Take my picture!”
Contrasting reds and blues, hues of green
Deep looks into eyes
that you never
quite
unsee.
What do these snapshots reveal?
What do these brief windows show?
Childhood ebbing
Drawing close to the end
but holding on perhaps
for one more summer day.
