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.
