Array ( [sid] => 38162 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Snapshot [time] => 2004-03-10 21:02:54 [hometext] => Snapshot is a poem of perspective. How do you see the world and yourself? [bodytext] => Where do you focus your lens of life?
Pictures do tell of life's struggles and strife.
Developed into memories of a self portrait,
Over time more familiar of whom we are.
Each event but a glimpse of a picture story.
The birth of a child or the death of a loved one.
Change of the seasons and of growing old.
The pain of the world and the hungry little children.
The abundance of smiles drowned out by tears.
The beauty of Mother Earth and her nature.
Looking to the sky wondering if we are all alone.
Starring at the mirror to view our own mortality.
A snapshot of time is all we can claim. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 21 [informant] => BigDaddy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Snapshot

Topic: Lifepoems

Where do you focus your lens of life?
Pictures do tell of life's struggles and strife.
Developed into memories of a self portrait,
Over time more familiar of whom we are.
Each event but a glimpse of a picture story.
The birth of a child or the death of a loved one.
Change of the seasons and of growing old.
The pain of the world and the hungry little children.
The abundance of smiles drowned out by tears.
The beauty of Mother Earth and her nature.
Looking to the sky wondering if we are all alone.
Starring at the mirror to view our own mortality.
A snapshot of time is all we can claim.

"where do you focus your lens of life".....its great. not only do i become absorbed in your poem it also forces me to re-evaluate what is important to me and why.

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. ©
