I greedily keep the finest vintages for myself These draughts made to savour not swill Revel in tastes of sweetest fruit Captured perfect and decisive as a Bresson Aged with reverance Revered with age *** Henri Cartier-Bresson is a brilliant photographer known for capturing "decisive moments" in his work. Perfect images that would lose their power had they been snapped a millisecond sooner or a millisecond later.*** The poem is about those perfect memories we cherish and keep to ourselves. Forgive a third post but it'd been awhile since I'd written or posted [This message has been edited by Aenimal (01-15-2003 11:44 PM).] |

Raph, friend, its so true, those certain photos capture a whole section of a lifetime, with one click, with perfect timing, evoking memories that we'd buried deep, until we come across them again. i recently found some old photos, and they capture everything i sometimes forget about. you said this beautifully raph. it has a real elegance and wisdom. I greedily keep the finest vintages for myself especially liked this line. i'm greedy with my memories too. i think we all are. lots of love gemma xxxxxxxxx  learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love. |

What a pleasure this read is... and here I thought I was being handed an excellent vintage of wine... and instead, it was something that would not leave a hangover.... thank you for this! |

Raph, when I first started reading, I thought you meant wine, too......  I really liked this. Even though I seem to tell all in my poems, sometimes, there's lots that I reserve all for me and me alone........

Thanks for the kind words sunshine christian thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it and thatit inspired such a nice response Ethel I'm often amazed at the depth of emotion and memory, that i can be as open as i am with my writing and in talking to people and yet still have endless memories tucked away for myself. |

some treasures are meant for that very special place within each individual--you've expressed this quite well, enjoyed!! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

"These draughts made to savour not swill Revel in tastes of sweetest fruit Captured perfect and decisive" yes, memories, how perfect. Some we do keep to ourselves, and smile over them inwardly reflecting on their emotional impact, and no one else knows. I like it that way. very cool read. |
