A Childish Snap

the impatient posed
photograph
of me age six,

a look down
betrays my love
of dandelions
and beetles,

thirty eight
years later,
it still does.


John G.Hall(c)2003

Oh, this is really beautiful. The freshness of a child's fascinations for new experiences caught on film - the poem brilliantly and unexpectedly ending with "and still does"- it's positivity gives us all hope! I really love this work, it has resurrected something I have missed for a log long time!
Thanks John G
