Chells 1957 Poem by michael oliver
Chells 1957
One sided off centre
we sit as family
In two tone past
Being then being memory
Dad yes self image
Mum the illness there
And me-Half stated
in the space between
A family group photo
Attended by two dogs
Candy the light one
Duke the black one
Each mastering their space
Sitting and panting adoration
We are shadows posing
A triptych of heirarchy
Where are we looking
Posing into the lens
Issuing a mission statement
As we sit waiting
For the shutters of time
To instruct our future
The light of events
To cast the position

You have excellently captured time and delivered a poem that captures you from the beggining to the end, narrating in pure poetic style, a family event and thus reminding us perhaps to take another look at those old family pictures and remember the stories they hold. Really enjoyed.10/10
