POEM STARTER
A photo booth camera captures the moment when a girl confesses something to her friend.
In a poem or short story, describe the image and let the readers infer the nature of the confession.
Photo booth
“C’mon, let go!” She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the photobooth,
“Do you have anymore money?” I searched through my pockets and found no spear change. I had spent all the money I had with me on claw machines and festival games.
“Sure I do…” Jamie looked through her purse for any money,
“Before we take a photo…can I…um…can I tell you something?” I blushed and looked down, praying to the gods hopeing they’d grant me a little courage.
“I don’t know, _can _you?” She smirked and pulled out a quarter,
“Okay, um…I like you.” I started figiting with the ends of my skirt. Jamie paused right before putting the coin in the slot.
“Aww, I like you too, Liv!” She proceeded to insert the quarter.
“No, I…um…_like_ you.” The first picture was of me looking away and clutching my skirt and Jamie was staring wide-eyed at the camera.
“Oh,” She replied, gods, I was about to cry, “Is this a prank or something?”
“No.” The second picture was her looking at me and me still looking down.
“Why?” she turned toward me and I looked in the direction of the camera,
“‘Cause your, like, your-“ The third picture was of me makeing hand gestures.
I finally looked up at her. Why was she so tall? She was looking a me with an expression I had never seen on her before. She had a soft smirk and her eyes danced with light. She bent down ever so slightly and placed her lips onto mine.
The fourth picture was of her kissing me softly. I still have that picture now. It’s hanging next to the photos of me and her in beautiful white dresses holding bouquets at sunset.
