Poem Commentary

Song-like poem. Just some thoughts. Might not make sense. Ask if you need more direction. :D

Shutter Sound-Off

Let's make a memory, with the sound of shutters.
My young mind can see I want you and no other.

Get past the nature-like green and browns.
Sky blue princess, your lips are my crown.

It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A chapter in time is a book in a series.
It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A camera catching memories.

I've got jagged fingernails from my constant worry.
Its a fairytale beginning, they can wait, please don't hurry.

Scratch-out paper thoughts, too-good-to-be-true.
Thinking outside the box of all the good I do.

It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A chapter in time is a book in a series.
It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A camera catching memories.

If I stay another moment, I think I might go crazy.
The bad times seem to go by quicker, when you're with me, baby.

Am I trying too hard to rhyme?
To learn paticence, I think I'll need more time.

It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A chapter in time is a book in a series.
It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A camera catching memories.

Like when the dentist gives me lollipops,
and I tell him I could do his job.

A hint of New Jersey in my voice.
But right now, your environment isn't your choice.

It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A chapter in time is a book in a series.
It isn't a job if you love what you do.
A camera catching memories.

I hope to write lyrics for rock bands, be a professional photographer and a human interest journalist when I'm older. :D

It does kinda go all over the place, but that is NOT a bad thing. Liked this as well, Alyson. I love logging on and seeing that you've posted a new poem:)

[: thanks so much ♥

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
