Ever feel captured and there's nothing you can do? Quite a few of us are in predicaments that we simply have to endure. Like living in this world of zit, we have to deal with it, one things for sure, we can't quit until death does us apart. And sooner or later it will.


Poem Artwork

The camera snapped the picture
It happened so quick
I couldn't escape the snapshot
I tried to get out of the lenses view
but didn't move fast enough
Now I'm captured in a scene
where there's no escape

Everyone that views the picture
will see me there
They'll wonder how I was stupid
enough to get captured
I look back from the picture
screaming for help
but no one hears my plea

The picture gets placed in
a picture album
As the album is being closed
I scream for help again
Again my plea for help meets
deaf ears
I become captured in a dark world
knowing there is no escape

The house burns down
all the way to the ground
The picture album burns to a crisp
Finally I'm free
This photo no one will ever again see

Oh gee, my friend. This makes me wonder what you were doing that made you so object that picture so much. I bet you wish I had not taken the picture of you with the match in your hand. LOL!
Just kidding.
God bless,

LOL, GEM, why I mainly take pictures of clouds. THEY don't object or do questionable activities! Although have to wonder about severe storms with hail and tornadoes ... LOL!! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
