================================
i think the 1st word(picture) is the most confusing...but what i was getting at is like...pictures give u a look at what the person was looking at...but from other points of view...people might see something else but it wasnt what the photographer wanted them to see...

intriguing notions,answers was like...basically the same as the first word...but..from the other peoples view...they might get something else out of it and it be fascinating

the rest is self explanatory

thx..had fun doin this one :P

hi, its a good poem, i'm surprised that you finished so soon, and do this good a job! oh, and you neednt explain!

well done

Picture In A Frame [Acrostic]

Picture in a dusty frame, you and me,
I have left alone for awhile,
Crying for how you left me,
That was the two of us when we were happy,
Understood everything we had to say,
Remebering old fading memories of how,
Every one told us we were great together.

In fading memories I refuse to,
Need your picture to keep me going,

A picture fading into ripped memories.

For time and time again I just wish you could come back,
Retrying again and again to move on with out you,
Always in the end, I fall back into,
Memories of you and me and how,
Everytime you held me close I'd fall back in love with you again.

This poem is about my ex Jesse, who died a day after our 4 month mark 7 months ago.

Hi TWF, thanx for submitting your poem! (Oh, and sorry to hear about your loss, hope youre doin ok!)

well done!

Picture In A Frame (Acrostic)

Pieces of life
Inside little boxes of hope
Captured memories
Treasured at leisure
Unspoken emotions
Remembered forever
Echo's of times long past

Idle dreams of lazy dreamers
Naive wishes of naive wishers

Amounting to nothing, but nothing itself.

Fleeting moments are meant to fade
Rarely are they meant to stay
And yet there all we have at times
Memo's of a better life
Enduring the test of time

hi Jacob, thanx for the poem, its great

well done
Narc xxx

Piece of a moment
In a dreary day
Caught in all its beauty
Times passing away
Under the flash
Remembered for good
Everyone’s frozen, just as they stood

Inside of a picture, underneath the unseen
Nothing can be hidden, emotions flying free

A beautiful moment is still

Forever it will fade
Remembered still it will be
A moment in life
Misunderstood…
Entangled in reality

oh wow...beccas bringin the stiff competition like i knew was comin!!!

Picture In A Frame
By: Twisted Heart

Piles of photographs, lay around the empty room
Inside the house of humble, they have met their doom
Created by the memories that hide on every page
Trying to recapture all the dreams from younger days
Unhindered by the thoughts are the faces of the young
Reminders of the better times when love was not undone
Every hope that was shared behind the faded smiles

Into the realm of nothingness that stops to haunt awhile
No longer do they look among the passing of the page

A teardrop falls upon the faded faces everyday.

Forgotten by the love that lived in those photographs
Remembered for a moment, then moved away so fast
Anger had a hand in all the pain behind the eyes
Marked by the lost impressions is the hunger left to hide
Envisioning the future are the faded memories
trapped within the pictures for all eternity.

Can I reserve a spot please?

Picture In A Frame

Place a photo' in a frame.
Images that stay the same.
Collecting dust upon the wall.
Thoughts of good times to recall.
Unchanging smiles, the memories good.
Remembering where it was we stood.
Everything perfect, being just how it should.

Imprinted memories forever will stay.
Nothing can take those smiles away.

A picture in a frame.

Failing memories as we grow old.
Reach out for the photo', once again they'll unfold.
Always a story about how we cared.
Memories from the times we shared.
Eternal reminder for when our minds are impaired.

ATT: twisted heart

i'll reserve for you, i dunno if you entered without reseving on purpose, but i went through the trouble of reading anayways, and to not enter this poem would be a waste of good writing, so, i'll enter your poems, but next time, PLZ READ THE RULES CAREFULLY

Picture In A Frame

Places of yesterday held behind glass
Into another place, a happier past
Crying because it doesn't seem fair
To look and see, but not return there
Unfolding memories break me down
Relishing moments I once found
Even though I'm much stronger now

Innocence in freckles upon the face
Now dusty from time and cluttered space

Another thought of sweet childhood

Fleeing from the mind that once understood
Remembering how nice it was to be young
A part of life when sweeter songs were sung
My heart only leaps when I look into the glass
Entering a place with a happier past

A Picture In A Frame (Acrostic)
by Bryan

All the times I've seen you, my heart can't help but race,

Pain still exists, when I look at your beautiful face.
Instantly destroying all of the feelings I have for you,
Calling out your name, wishing you loved me too.
Torture still remains, but you never really cared,
Unable to go on with my life, knowing you wont be there.
Remnants of this broken heart, they will last an eternity,
Every time my eyes meet yours, I know you don't love me.

Insanity is all that remains, just wishing it would end,
Not knowing where I should start, or where to begin.

A picture in a frame, is all I have left of those days

Frozen through time, is all the beauty that it portrays
Reality starts to kicks in, and I can finally realize,
All the pain I've been through, theres no more goodbyes.
More that I realize this, the more I feel the same,
Every time that I look at her picture in a frame.

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

Picture In A Frame (Acrostic)

Please don't look too closely
It's broken memories,
Captured in a picture
Time stopped for you and me.
Under glassy coverlet
Reflecting ghosts of love,
Ever frozen moments

In memory of us.
Now I'm moving slowly

Anointing future dreams

Forward in new photographs
Rebuilding honesty.
Another one is captured
Memories to recall
Enduring ever after, framed upon my wall.

So Sorry. I honestly thought I reserved first. I had it on my list as reserved. My mistake.

Again, sorry about that.
