This free verse, A Picture on My Wall, is a good look through your heart at those pillars in your past that you may have never met, but know were the best sort, and happy to be alive in your thoughts.

What a family treasure that picture is! Thank you for sharing the strength of your family in your poem depicted in that photograph taken so long ago! How rare it is for both sides of the family and multiple generations to be together.

How lovely to have generational photos such as this, to feel the background of your 'heartbeat family'. Your ability as a poet reflecting on the past is mirrored by photography's ability to catch that moment in time.

    Thanks, there are a few others, but this is the only one I have with so many in the picture at one time. I even have portrait pics of the great-grandparents on my grandfather's side. Amazing to have them for sure! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

A beautiful memory written in free verse and the pic to go with it! It's good to know our roots and to know we belong. They may not be here now, but we are a reflection of the ones who came before. Nicely written!

I love old photographs -moments in time captured on paper. They are nostalgic pieces of history. And they are extra special when it comes to family. Thanks for sharing yours in a free verse that flows well.

This is a lovely, touching, descriptive poem about family and the peaceful feeling engendered by just looking at a photo. When I look at one family photo book, I know I'm going back to the shelf for another soon! :-)
