A Picture Poem by Khairul Ahsan

A Picture

Rating: 4.8


Some pictures
Are more than just pictures.
They can speak,
And tell a hundred stories.
Yet still,
A picture is just a picture.
Can be gazed at,
Wondered about,
But not spoken to.

A picture or a photograph which one relates to like a wedding picture, or of a person who has gone very far and may not come back hold so much meaning and hide so many stories and emotions They are our memories stored in our mind.But they are but pictures and the past moments can never come back.

'But they are but pictures and the past moments can never come back' - that's the essence of the poem. Thanks for bringing it out, dear poet @Bharati Nayak.
