Photo
Capture me in neverending sunlight,
between fiery rays and welcoming warmth.
Hold me in your view
and adjust the settings to seize this lasting illumination.
No, I won’t be bleached or obscured.
Take the photo in all the light that shines,
and remember today marks the longest exposure.

wonderful poem about a photo that captures what eyes alone can’t see
Thank you, Mike. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
love the ingenious approach to the poem’s spirited tone
Thank you, Gaby!
Very concise, expressed beautifully!
Thank you, Linda. Writing in shorter bursts is challenging, but clearly worth it. I appreciate your kind words.
Yours is such a better “exposure” than how the word has appeared (at least twice so far) in my PoMo this year!
Thank you, Joseph. I don’t know that my poem is any “better” per se. Your work always inspires me. I’m glad you liked this one. I wonder if we can keep the ‘exposure’ going for the rest of the month. : )
