Picture Poetry

These poems were written based on pictures. I have not included the original picture links with the words. Most can stand on their own without them. To see the pictures, go to Photographic Inspiration.

World's Fair

My first roller coaster ride,
some million years ago,
was a rickety one at best.
It was also the most thrilling
day of my life, I’ve never
forgotten the World’s Fair.

Everyone was dressed
in their Sunday best.
We behaved like the ladies
and gentlemen we were.
We had cars, telephones,
and now the roller coaster.

We saw strange contraptions
that dealt with something called
electricity. Only a few knew
what it was. We saw modern
ice boxes and can openers
that worked like magic.

Beyond all that, we rode
the rickety roller coaster
every chance we got that day.
