look..see?

photos age slower than memories.

this is true,i guess thats the way the cookie crumbles.

 welcome to du and thanks for stopping by and passing comment.

photos are also worth a thousand words,nice poem sir

good to see you benji.

i never posted a photo as figured everyone would have a different photo in mind.

thanks so much, tammy.
glad you could stop by.

'weathered  by finger and eye

   hospitable in so far as

   it welcomes a gaze'  -  it's not necessarily pretty to just anyone, but it means a lot to the ones that care. very nice, and what a lovely finish. good one, Eamon. [:

thank you kindly jesta :)

yeah, that was sorta what i was thinking when i was putting it together.
glad you liked it.

Very interesting.  I'm trying to stare beyond the photograph and see what's behind it.  I think it's one of those poems that it's up to me to decide, but I'm not sure.

I don't really have anything constructive for this one, except the two dots in the title are irking me (and it's all about me don't you know! ;) ).  Are they meant to be an ellipsis, or are you just trying to emphasize the pause between the two words?

thanks darren.
yeah  you are welcome to picture a photo in your minds eye,thats why i never put up the picture in question.

the title,yeah i was trying to emphasize the pause between the two. look!,see? didnt quite do it for me.though i often get stuck on such attempts at pause and the likes

I dunno, I guess that's one for a forum debate. ;)
 
I'm sure most people on here would tell you that the two dots are fine.
 
A colon wouldn't work for you after "look"?  Failing that, I don't see why you can't just have one period (full-stop) and a space.
 
It's really not a big deal.  I got what you were trying to do with the title, so I guess you could say it works as is.

I like how your poems are at once vague and dense, general and profound. The elegance of your language glides smoothly over the subject matter, while deeper themes emerge now and then from subterranean depths.

wow thanks for that jack,that is indeed an honor.
you may have just described my personality there.thats something the state paid a shrink thousands for and he came up with nothing.:)
i am sort of stuck in a thing where i want to say things without saying them,and when i do say things i want them to mean more.
i have learned a lot from reading other peoples work,i need to read more.

Consider yourself lucky you got a state one. I have to give mine thirty pounds of my aunt and uncle's money each week just so she can tell me I'm a sensitive young man, something my PE teachers told me for years, though they meant it derogatively.

I like how your title leads directly into the conversational tone of the poem. It's nice, fluid, and your idea progresses naturally.
Penultimate and final lines are competently drawn.

thanks aish

a real compliment, coming from yourself.

your readers attention enough with the moment of your script...I will suggest you to write a sequel on the same.

you are calling me a theif?

fuck you anando.


thanks anando  i appreciate your kind comment but i doubt i could create a sequel.

thanks for dropping in,its always nice to see you.

No other words but "good job"

thanks a million rigantona.

and welcome to the labyrinth that is dup

I said: "Twas but a moment, caught and shared" then I come here and find you've said it so elegantly...

haha, I'm glad the visit was worth it for you Atakti,  "Twas but a moment, caught and shared" is rather poetic though.

thank you kindly for the visit and words. dear Lady

Since you don't have any new poems as yet, I thought I'd go back and look at the first one that you posted here, under "lepperochan". I do see the value of sticking with an account, and almost regret switching between so many different ones, down the years. (Almost.)

The poem itself is great. Its formatting bugs me, what with it being all italicised and in bold lettering, but I'm a miserable Anglican. So pay me no mind, in that respect. I feel just as irked by the spelling of "its" without an apostrophe in that context, even though that's a mistake that I made just now, and while typing this very comment. (I only noticed because it was picked up by Grammarly!)

But, returning to the poem itself... It IS great. It shows a real grace and elegance in its language, a quality which is enviable, and rare. There's emotional truth here, perfectly presented and thus perfectly affecting.
