internalised----3WW and Totally Optional Prompts!



Initial
, Knock, Weather





For totally optional prompts, I offer this as I think it goes with the prompt well. I interpret it this way!

taking the photographs out
appraising those with wonder.
initial euphoria receding like hairline
I sort through, throwing a few
with a knock onto memory.

ever changing weather mirrors
but absorbs too, darkest turns to light.
pictures come and go, enjoyed yet
ignored. ones that camera never captured.
internal experiments of the soul.

  13. I like this. I actually understand this better than most of the poems/prose you have written. Maybe that's why.

    Great poem!

  15. Great poem. Can our photos really capture what we truly feel inside? Keep up the good work.

    Have a nice day.

  17. "ignored. ones that camera never captured." is incredible. It gets to the heart of what I read here. Beautiful. And true.

  18. It's been said, but I'll say it again: that last part rocks, and seals the whole (no pun intended) nicely.

  19. Gautami, I have been going through old photographs, so your poem hit home. One of my favorites of yours now.

  21. Really loved the ending Gautami. Those are two beautiful lines. And I got a chuckle out of the hairline line

    ReplyDelete
  22. "internal experiments of the soul"
    thought provoking.

    "initial euphoria receding like hairline" Classic!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Nice verse Gautami, as always. I finally got another 3WW done

  24. why is it that we never have a camera when we want it...and when we do we cant take the picture that we are feeling!? Wonderful!

  25. looking inward - like kaliedoscope eyes?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Often I think that I remember visual things without a camera along

    It makes me really look and memorize, but then the camera sees thing I never did so...

    Made me think :) I like that

  27. ones that camera never captured.


    Sometimes I think those are the most important pictures we never take.
