Behind the camera-phone

Sometimes when you're behind the camera
You'd be out of the picture
Out of the loop, disconnected
You see happy faces forgetting to wear one
You remember happy occasions
O wonder where you were?
You missed them not but feel like you do
Sometimes when you're behind the camera


Note:
This is an instant poem I created to go along with the pictures I've taken using my camera-phone. I was emailing them to my friends and had nothing much to put in the body of the message. The cheezy lines just came to me without warning. This by the way is not the one that got sent. This one contains an additional line. Still cheezy, though. Hehe... :)

  2. Don't say that m'lord. The book I'm currently reading, "If You Want To Write", doesn't believe in that. The author (Brenda Ueland) believed that everyone has a very interesting story or poem inside.

    We just have to write them.

  4. It was written in the 1930's, but I checked Amazon it's still listed there (new printing/edition).

    But I got my copy from a stall in Ket Kai that sell old books. You know I see a stall selling books and if I'm not in a hurry I usually scan the titles to see if I'll find something that I would be interested with. Guess I was just lucky that I found it.
