The Picture Painted In Words Comments

I am revisiting this poem ---You take me to the old photographs that speak so many stories ---People captured, people loved, people disappeared---Happy days, memorable days, ----so many---

Old pictures always fascinate me, and this poem is hauntingly beautiful.

A beautiful poem, Susan! Five stars!

in the same boat Susan Bravo!

Stuart Munro====I like the point you made so may you always find something in my poems that give rise to enjoyment in you

p.s. and if you message me using this page, i most likely will never see your response. I'll read another poem from you. :)

By using " photograph" , " words" , " picture" (4 times, including the title) , AND " portrait" , I think you've muddled ** just what it is you are talking about. i THINK YOU ARE talking about a book. My guess is the words are black, IF there ARE words printed on white paper. Is a ghost speaking? honest! the poem holds promise, but, for me, needs clarification. and i am not attuned to symbolism. bri ;)

Exteraordenary image has been marvelosly has been painted with words...10+++ for this amazing piece of work

Brthank you for responfing to my quertyi- -PH is flipping me from poem to poem- lost two comments s0 far- U roo like this one better- - ghost is correct

2 - P.S. But, as in the other poem, this line doesn't seem to 'fit': " captured forever in the hopeful eyes of the young" . that line seems to imply that OTHERS, besides yourself, can " see" the words! except for 'that' line, i'd send this to MyPoemList. let me know if you reconcile what i 'object' to. thanks. bri :)

1 - Except for the last line of this poem, i am not struck by any great difference between this one and the one on which i just left a comment, " A Time-Worn Photograph" . i COULD go back and forth between the two. hmm? do i want to? i'd say i like this one more. Is the last line 'spoken by' a ghost or a person who has lived a previous life? ? ? spooky. bri :)

Love and dreams! ! Yearning for someone to care and, Share your lovely heart with. 💃🌷💑 Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

the dusty picture from a long long time ago sitting forgotten on the mantel whispering its stories to the empty room singing softly its songs of love and life into the night yearning always yearning yearning for someone to know these people lived - - - - - - - -The secrets of a whole life may be hidden in the moments captured in words or the old photographs.Such a beautiful poem is Susan Williams.

Only a poetess of exceptional ability can see beyond a photograph. Excellent, dear Susan. Thank you for your nice comments.

A wonderfully reminiscent poem written with great style. I sometimes look at older poems and try to remember the circumstances which affected me at the time. This is a deeply thought provoking poem, Susan
