The Photograph

By meadowcroft1964

15 August 2008

She's just a picture a photograph

So why does she bother me such

That time and space have no place

When ever I spy her face

As she watches from behind clear glass

Haunting taunting this ghost from my past

This beautiful wild dark eyed gypsy lass

Why the need for such jealousy

You may want to say to me

Well my secret I will tell

That young lass well she once was me

Ahh - I know exactly how it feels. How well you developed this poem. Were you really a wild, dark eyed, gypsy lass? How lovely!

Nice poem. I got the feeling a few weeks back, my mum produced some photos from five years ago and it was strange to see myself looking so different, wearing different clothes from what I usually wear. Brought back memories, at the same time brought a kind of sadness. You can never get your childhood back.
I liked this very much, mysterious with a slight edge to it I feel. I think there's room for a few commas in there, between "picture" and "a photograph" in line one. And maybe a question mark after the second line. But there small details in a poem I felt was very nicely written. Well done

This really is a lovely poem tinged with the sadness of times gone by. If only we could turn back time and experience these memories again.

Beautiful Gipsy Girl!
