How do you
fall in love with a photograph?
I don’t know,
never have,
but now…
I’ve always
preferred wood
to paint,
even graying and split,
but now…
The back of her head
could have snakes
slithering
on rotted skin,
but now…
I don’t care.

Pat, I hate to break the news to you, and well, you'd just better be strong, but - I'm pretty sure that Mona Lisa is kinda sorta maybe -- dead.

Intriguing piece Pat!

I've fell in love with many photos -- never thought of that, though
(no, I'm not talking about what you may be thinking :) )
happy friday!
Andrew
I don't care... about anything else... but now...:)Living Now Press
Oh that love, no matter the presentation, if the mood is right, so then follows the heart.
This is a lovely soulful poem.
Pat, I mentioned on an earlier comment that your poetry has taken on a new dimension from what I've first read of yours. I wonder if you're feeling this. There's really something happening here and I'm totally into it!
lovely, pat, just lovely!
hold on to this muse of yours!
such a way with words...
Pat,
I like the way you think! That offbeat way of seeing the world. Mark of a good poet, yes! Loved this...now you have ME thinking about what the rear is like on some photos of people I've seen and liked.:-)
I liked this, too.

Are you sure???

Haha. I wouldn't know where to even begin.
holy crap fella.

the whims.
lukas.
i agree, this is intriguing. nice new picture :)
Brevity of expression that conceals a very strong emotion which is sealed by the final "I don't care". Powerful write.
Whitney I do! You should!! You're a very inspiring and talented young lady!!
Maddy, as always, thank you very much!! Good luck with your photograph!!
Lukas, thanks for coming by!!
Ruthanne, thank you for the kind compliment!!
Natalia, your comments have come to mean alot, thank you!
sums up love gone to waste... the apathy mixed with emotion of still caring slightly.
neat imagery.
