sepia

This poem inspired by the photo found at Abbey of the Arts Invitation to Poetry.
I hope you will choose to join in the fun!


captured in sepia

frozen in time
shall i take your hand
or will you take mine?

offering bread crumbs
we move through our days
dressed in our finery
love kept at bay.

feeding the pigeons
who always want more
like love unrequited
that shadows our door.

captured in sepia
frozen in time
shall i take your hand
or will you take mine?

thanks lucy! I love that you were able to include "love unrequited" and shadows our door is a wonderful image. I also love the way the poem comes full circle back to that question. Wonderful!

"Love kept at bay". Interesting, the different takes on the same image.
