somebody's dungeon

I guess that you could say
oh you will, just wait
that I must be vain,  
or even, quite insane.

Mom gave me a camera
just a silly little gadget,
but now, this taking pictures
has become quite a habit.

I've got fifty representations,
I said fifty you heard right,
of my face, just my face
some are dark, some are light.

I've got pictures in colors
so bright they look unreal
I look like a china doll
though that's not how I feel.

I've got pictures with clothes on
pictures where I don't
don't ask me to show you
you have to know I won't.

I assure you I'm not vain
not even a teeny, tiny bit
I know I should just stop
before my mother has a fit.

But I tell you, it's fun
I've even painted each one
they're a history I'll leave
when this, my life is done.

(me grinning at you and toe)

I like the way you wrote this, Anne. Do you really paint, too? I know you do with words...

Thank you for your response Ethel

Toe and I go way back. He has a way about him, doesn't he?

I do paint too. The photo in this thread, and the painting I'm referring to in the poem though, is painting the photos in my photo program on my computer.

Here's a link to my art. Again, thanks for reading.

ROFL @ Toe... If it didn't matter, why would she send them? LOL

I enjoyed this very much, Rosie... and while I hope you're on this earth a lot longer, you'll be leaving much more than pictures... even if you tire of your new toy. *S*

laughing at toe and appreciating you artful words. I just began to venture into painting and am in self discovery about a part of me I didn't know was there...
your poem touched me
big hugs, cher

Ps I am sketching nudes but not of me so we are all safe. LOL

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.
