[bodytext] => Twelve rusty lead soldiers lifted from the suitcase Laid out on the well-worn bedside rug Kept unobtrusively in a smelly margarine tub Undiscovered before his mother's death He walked with intent to the nearest library Still preoccupied by thier blue breeches and red jackets Given fresh courage by the librarian's wholesome smile He retrieved his best linen hankerchief No longer irritated by its foutain pen stains He crossed the road while amber was still in view Enticed by daring thoughts of tea and scones He vowed to guard his treasures with more care Hansard procedures and Wisden statistics told little of the story Even-keeled relationships and modest annual increments Neither young nor old,yet with some attractive traits Pension anxiety not appropriate before the funeral rites A final trip to South London and its Horniman museum Greeted by earnest families and exotic instruments Terse postcard explanations of Victorian racial categories Served soggy pastries by a sweetheart from Zimbwawe The unkempt undressed soldiers smelt now of decay Promptly at eight o'clock he would wrap them in kitchen towels The Christmas biscuit jar would be their new abode He tossed the handkerchief from his third floor window [comments] => 4 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 43 [informant] => TREBOR [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
