*** Poem Release ***
*** Word
Pictures ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
they say, a picture is
worth a thousand words
at first I thought the notion was
absurd
then a friend took photo of us at the beach
"righty
o" he said, "now turn it into speech"
first we
listed everything we saw
he pointed out what we ignored
like
how it was about mid day
the direction of the wind, the trees
portray
what tide it was, and the sea being rough
whether
the beach was sand or shell encrust
how old were we all, and
which sex
as I started to realise the description was
complex
so we set about writing, then the room fell dumb
the
statement had lied, two thousand, the sum
