First I look at the man at the table
then at the window of the beach café
still as a photo, white lines around the panes
holding my attention
so beautiful that I don't get bored -
the white! the light! the division of the plane!
I consulted the wisdom
of the internet: Why
are photos never boring?
and I got a doggerel of commonplaces
which ignore the marvel
the marvel of the world
In photos, news reports and holiday
snaps, I now see the background -
the world around us

"Photos Never Boring"
Photos capture a moment in time
A memory frozen, forever to shine
In frames they sit, still and serene
But in our hearts, they come alive and keen
A smile on a face, a laugh in the air
A sunset so grand, it takes us somewhere
A baby's first steps, a loved one's embrace
These are the moments we can never replace
Photos may seem simple, just paper and ink
But they hold within them, a story to think
A journey through time, a tale to be told
Each one a treasure, to keep and behold
So never say photos are boring or bland
For in each one lies a memory grand
A window to the past, a treasure trove
Photos will never be boring, that's for sure
