The Picture to Remember

I am…
A picture on the wall
By myself next to a friend
Scared to take the picture
Not feeling to take it
Happy and now, I’m putting it in MySpace
Pretty in the picture but my friend, he’s alright
Cool taking a picture with him
He doesn’t like it
But I do
He doesn’t want me to put it on MySpace but I’m willing to take it
He’s mad at me
I love it!
I really don’t want to take it off
It remembers that perfect day we had together

Hi Yanell A! When you said that you were in the picture 'by yourself' but also with a friend, it made me think about how that could feel. Thank you for being so honest in your poetry.

I love the last line of your poem because of the way you personify the picture--"It remembers that perfect day." You're right; if pictures had a job it would be to remember things for us! Very insightful.
