A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words- - Comments

Lovely poem, reflecting on wonderful moments gone by. Just a small thing, Theo, picture in the title misses a 't'.

Lovely reflective poem brought about upon looking at an old photograph. Its funny how a certain scene or image can bring all of it back in the hands of the older version of the child. I love the last line and especially the use of the word dappled. Its a kind of poetic word, but place with a greying head is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

There are so many lovely evocative phrases in this piece, Theo. Then you weave them together to create a tapestry that is not just your childhood but so many of your readers' childhood. It is a bit annihilating to stroll through the family photo album and realize I had forgotten a time, a place, an event that had not the photograph not jogged my memo would not have thought of it again, would have left a piece of myself behind, lost as if never lived. Your poem reminds us to be thankful for a mind that can still remember what it does. Thank you for sharing this gem. .
