A Blurred Photograph

Folder: 
On Poetry

A poet reveals

Only a glimpse of himself

Leaving some of him concealed.

After all, he must keep

His mystery intact.

Poetry is the very essence

Of a masquerade ball

Where no one is as he appears.



A poem resembles

A blurred photograph;

A distant memory reassembled

And trapped onto the page.

The reconstruction of a moment

In need of reassessment,

To find understanding

Beneath the glossy surface.

I like your piece but I differ on it being a blurred photograph from captured memory, it can be a points but sometimes is just off the cuff for no apparent reason and just happens...
