His deep voice tells a story
as each black and white page turns.
Filled with tanks, guns, barracks,
wistful men
A life long forgotten, but there all the same.
Every photo neatly framed, each with hid

Glad you liked this poem. Looking through my grandfather's photos from the korean war inspired me to write this. I said hidden edges because I know that there are stories to each picture. Stories that are kept secret. Untold. I'm glad you like it. I would like to see some of your work, too. I would appreciate it if you checked out my other work. Thanks! :)

I agree, this is thought-provoking. What happens outside the edge of the picture frame?
