Your poem shows me what I believe a free verse poem should be. Short, precise, descriptive lines, sometimes only a single word or two, emphasized by strategic pauses and a few rhymes inserted for accent.

You have expressed well the joy and spontaneity that attends photography; the desire to seize (and freeze) a transient and magical moment in time before it is gone for good. When you combine your photographer's eye with your poet's flair for words, you create a whole new form of communication: picture poems, as you so aptly describe it.

Yes, you surely have a gift, once against evident in this beautifully presented and constructed piece. It's great you have the additional skill of photography - I have to snap about ten before I have one that is acceptable :) best wishes as always, Indie

    Thank you Indie, what's cool today is that with a digital camera, you can take 100 shots, it doesn't matter, because you don't need to develop film.

The sun does look like a heart! That was a wonderful artistic photo to go with this wonderful poem. I like the way the rhythm rolls down through your words, there is a lot of that and some rhyme in this free verse poem. Nicely done and leading into a pleasurable read. xsx Sandra

A truly amazing Picture Poem especially the picture of the glowing red sun-heart in the horizon. The backdrop of tree branches is striking too.
Click, click and more clicks and the lens zoom in on the scene - anything that comes into view becomes an amazing jigsaw of life and nature at its best.
Excellent write. This poem had a format style of short and long verses/lines. Good format for highlighting something of interest.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

    Thank you Ritchie, did you mean to give me a 4?
reply by 9999pool on 28-Mar-2013
    Nope. Looks like my PC is jumping at me. From the review comments it should be a 5..wonder where the 4 came from. My sincere apologies Tom. Error corrected again.
    Have a great day.
    Looks like not a good day, smiles, Ritchie.

    No problem my friend. Hey, Indie Skreet wrote an amazing poem using a Scrabble poem format. Pretty interesting.

    I just received her review for the very first time and will check out her poem later although I have already done a review of her latest poem.
    Have a great Easter with your family and friends. The 'nice' poem had been corrected - graphics error. Thanks.
    Cheers, Ritchie.

Nature most certainly provides many beautiful photo opportunities to always treasure;
Spectacular images caught on camera allow man to forever marvel at so magnificent a sight;
Nice alliteration of "Beautiful butterfly"
Excellent writing, amazing picture!

i liked the theme of the poem .it was a different experience to read this after reading a lot of love ,hate sorrow verses.its true when you look thro a camera every scene ,every angle seems to tell a story.long line followed by short ones,and in the fifth verse good rhyming too.I enjoyed reading it.

I love your write on your muse.

I especially liked:
Frozen Images
To capture a moment in time
Is as simple as
A snap
A focus
An angle
A click

Yes, this is what poetry does.

Hugs, d
