In the gallery of life.

I was born a picture
but peeled
during life's weather,
fading with the
passing of time,
leaving a vacancy
on a wall empty,
for another picture.

I liked the image of a fading picture. Nice

Nice! In a way, like a piece of art, imitating life....

An excellent metaphorical piece, Andrew. That we do tend to diminish in importance in some eyes as we move through life and age. The new becomes the old and the old is eventually discarded and replaced.

A very clever piece with a sense of truth and poignancy contained within. Very well done.

Thank you Doodley for your words and yes sadly we do imitate art.
