Between my brother and me, we're thinking this could be one of my dad's cousins, and the guy with the superman pose coming up this week is my dad for sure. But for most of the photos, we just don't know. They could be friends of some family member in the past, or a shoestring relative. The truth has been lost, which is what makes it so fun to create a NEW truth!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578454697877614703.post-58724846422212120452016-04-02T12:19:51.477-04:002016-04-02T12:19:51.477-04:00This poem says so much about what could be behind ...This poem says so much about what could be behind the photo, but also about the way relationships can work.

I also like the repetition in the last three lines.

I love the rhyme scheme, too, and the way you broke the stanzas- really interesting!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578454697877614703.post-91141281109398660692016-04-01T23:32:43.910-04:002016-04-01T23:32:43.910-04:00OK, ummm, so here we go…

I also liked the (far-apart) rhyme--I'm sure there's a name other than far-apart-rhyme--"tease" and "please".
