Snapshot,black and white
(Julie)
Background prop winter white
groups of gray grand olden oaks,
branches laden with hours of snow.
snowflakes, fluffy falling down
glitter in the noon day sun,
in the center there she stands
stretching tall as she can,
ankle deep snow covers her white boots
power blue leggings match
her princess blue wool coat,
as does her bonnet brimmed hat,
arms reach skyward above her head
glove less hands, palms turned up
gleeful eyes of brightest brown,
lashes dusted snowy white,
cheeks are glowing rosy red
mouth ajar, tongue licking lips,
Catching snowflakes,
When, at sixteen months old.
Thank you Neon, I did not like how the ending read.
Sue she was my daughter.
There are many good poems on the board today, this one included.

This is precious! Is it an old black and white of you and your memories are filling in the colors? If so, that makes it even more adorable. Thanks.

Quite a twist with reality. A black and white photo to many but to the photographer, vivid color. Well said. Do you need ‘when’ on the final line?

Catching snowflakes,
One for each month of life.
Just an idea! I was in your poem and saw everything clearly. That’s how it’s done! With verve and color!!! Damn the black and white.
