The Majesty of a Camera

Submitted by perspiciens on August 10, 2008 - 21:22.

I examine my camera
I've only had it
For half a year

Kodak EasyShare M853

The exterior is cherry red
There's a sparkle to it
And the silver letters
That read "Kodak"
In the front upper left
Have already started
To wear back
To the red underneath

"8.2 mega pixels"
Proudly gleams
In the lower
Left-hand corner

There's nothing too special
About the camera itself
It's what it's been used for
That captivates me

I've shot pictures of:

A snow fall
That will never fall
Exactly the same
Ever again

My cousin's
Second birthday
Where he sang himself
Happy Birthday
Before snorting out
The candles

Christmas with
My best friend
With my mom and dad
The first Christmas dinner
I cooked myself

Random adventures
With unmistakenly_alive12
My best friend
Where we stay up late
Worrying about sounds
In her house
Writing poetry
Gaffawing about idiots
Contemplating the meaning of life

Normal stuff

I've shot pictures of:
