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.

Click Click Click

Click- her breath is held in tight

click-the truth spills into light

Click- the waiting burning slow

Click- a look she'll never know

In tiny frames, the seconds freeze,

a love laid bare with trembling ease.

But in the end, just silence stays,

and empty frames of yesterday

Click- her heart beat skips a beat

click- the air is thick with heat

click-her fingers graze the past

click- too fragile fading fast

The strip emerges black and white,

Ghosts of moments lost to light.
