Eyes open, snap shut; a shutter
taking pictures. Click! saved to the
memory bank, to be withdrawn
at odd moments of the day. When
love runs low, pull out the photo;
you'll remember why you took it.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman. (11/6)

Excellent! This is so true. A photo brings it all back to us from the exact moment, the feelings, a scent, a touch, what we saw ... perfect. Love, CJ

Sometimes we look, but do not see. We remember what we were looking at, and often much, much later, remember why we looked and it all meant. Good work, Karla. Carmen

Karla ... I can't put my finger on it, but there is something very pleasing about this little write. I believe it is the philosophical undertones. Light and Wisdom ... Richard Lloyd Cederberg

Great imagery, this is so true...when I get so upset sometimes at my husband, I recall and pull a few of the memories of the past and I am reminded of my love for him and the good traits that really do out weigh the bad. Great write...you are a wonderful writer who always has something positive and right on time for me to read. Blessings, Joyce Bowling




Reviewed by Felix Perry	11/7/2006

Great image poem that rings true for so many reasons but mainly the ability of the brain to take those quick memory shots on it's own to play back when we need them. FEe

Karla, I always asked the wife why she took so many pictures. Now having an old faded memory, I'm glad she did. Short, sweet and to the point. Well done. Rusty
