Taking Pictures (Poem)

Taking Pictures (Poem)

A Poem by Damien Davison
"

I now work in a call center for ordering photos haha so this inspired me...

"
Taking picture to never forget what we've done
Outlasting our memories
Capturing fun

Taking our minds back, it seems like time's flying
Smiles abroad
Then we catch ourselves crying

Close ones we've lost and places we've been
We immortalize
So we can see them again

So I ask
Where would we be without pictures?

And answer
A place where our minds are the filters.

Brilliant!
I love this poem. I love my countless albums and thousands of pictures I print. I love my mom's old college photo album full of long hairs in flannels. I love my grandmother's engagement photo that we have up on the mantle and the faded picture of my dad on the farm in about 1950 and the pictures my parents took of me and Parker playing in the leaves.
The third and last stanzas are my favorite. Such reality in your words and such a odd angle to look at pictures from- through a poem. Poems too, take pictures, snapshots, their just of our minds at a certain time rather than our smiles.
wonderful work. I enjoyed this poem immensely!
Great job!
