"Broken Glass " [Photographic Communication #10] [Photo Index # 3: 10 ] [Community Contribution Set Of Poems]

I saw this in a magazine –
Sand beach, with walking foot was seen
About to land on broken glass
He could not see ‘neath sand – alas.

Why even in my memory,
A shiver still floods over me;
Emotion travels powerfully
When photo images we see.

But “content” does not travel well –
That’s “steak” while photo-“sizzle” sells
Print carries content, detailed fact;
Emotion flies on photo’s back.

Best photos have emotion strong –
Evoked, conveyed, it can’t go wrong;
Commune with nature, laugh, and cry,
Evoke some deep and awe-some “why?”

“Once more with feeling” make some pix
Take flatness out, it’s feeling fix;
Some common object, who can feel
Emotion here? Let pictures heal.

Just Google words, “Emotion’s list”
Then let them flow through memory’s mist;
Go capture what in heart is deep;
Those pictured feelings – those you’ll keep.

Thanks Lord for this.
