It’s not just a picture
Or a moment still
But a full rapture
Of life’s grit and will
It’s not just a slide
Of time in a freeze
But a jolly ride
On a warm breeze
**My post for this week’s Sunday 160 hosted by Monkey Man… Do check out the other contributors as well… :)**
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
nice 160. glad you included the grit…we all get that…and in many ways it shapes our journey in ways the sweet stuff can not…keep sliding along…smiles.
Thank you so much for the wishes and the lovely words Brian.. Glad you liked this little poem… I really appreciate your comments
Our memories, fragments from our own life are what shape our life, along with our determination to carry on – these are what make us US!
So, cheers to us!! 🙂
Have a fabulous week ahead!
This is really amazing Kavita..!! Captures the emotions pretty well! 🙂 Its always wonderful to look at old photographs, isn’t it? They carry so much memory and emotion to them.. its almost like taking a trip 😀
Exactly!! Pictures are not just pictures… and they are not for us to brood over.. they are for us to remind us what we can be, and march ahead with all that we have! So, cheers to all that makes us who we are…
Thank you for your lovely words, Ilakya… I am really glad you enjoyed this poem…

not just a single picture, but a whole life… a “jolly ride” of memories sounds lovely – makes me want to page through the album.

Excellent 160. Love the cadence and the rhyme. Thanks for playing.
Thank you so much MM…glad you liked this little poem… I absolutely enjoy participating in the Sunday 160!
Have a fantastic week ahead! 🙂
Lovely, MM. Photographs are never “still pictures” when they capture our memories. The mind sees the motion and hears the dialogue. It’s like a travelogue into the past.
Awww.. thank you so much, Patti…glad you enjoyed this poem…
Yes, pictures are a reminder of what a lovely ride we’ve had till now, and they inspire us to enjoy this fabulous ride in future as well!
So… cheers to this travelogue, and to this journey…
Have a lovely week ahead!! 🙂
Kavisionz, I was on Monkey Man’s site when I picked up your link and had that on the brain (which doesn’t work all that well at this time of night). The comment above is meant for you, of course.
hehehe..that’s alright, Patti… I totally understand! 🙂 Besides, it’s the thought that counts!! These little typos do find a way of getting in 🙂
It was very sweet of you to come back and clarify this … I really appreciate your sincerity…
Although a clarification was really not needed here… 😀
Love ya… and take care..

Have a super week.
Thanks a TON, Cindy…glad you enjoyed this mini-read 🙂
And thanks for the lovely wishes too…
Hope you have a fantastic week yourself! Take care, girl.. 🙂
So agree, photos would be flattened without our neural network hooking up into the meanings. Love this compression of words.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
Photos are more than just a bunch of images,…they are parts of an entire story.. OUR STORY! Glad you enjoyed this little read… you should try the Sunday 160 yourself..it’s quite fun really!
Have a great week ahead!
Such a lovely poem about memories! You are amazing with words Kavita 🙂 I agree- they are not just pictures frozen in time but they are alive, they are our stories so far and they help us shape our time to come…
I am so glad you enjoyed little poem, Lua… and thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation and encouragement… they mean a lot to me!
Cheers to these pictures, these mini stories…and here’s to many many more such lovely stories 🙂
Have a gorgeous week ahead!
Happy and peaceful 🙂 Keep it that way Kavs 🙂
heheh…thank you for the lovely wishes Navdib… I will try and keep it that way 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this tiny read…
Have a lovely week ahead!
An awesome 160…I am yet to try my friend, I so want to but just find that time is not always on my side, I run a bussiness from home and before I know it, the day is gone. You have captured it so beautifully in this…a jolly ride, on a warm breeze!! Where do get your inspiration from Kavita? It’s fasinating and I always wonder about that!! Thanks babes, you’re awesome as usual!! Have a wonderful Monday and I love you heapssssssssss {{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} oxoxox
Ooohhh.. I am so happy to see your comment Amanda(as always)… I am getting habituated to reading them! In fact, I WAIT for them 🙂
But i absolutely understand how pressed for time you might be, and I really appreciate you taking the time to read my stuff AND comment as well!! Pheewww.. You are the sweetest and the BESTESTEST !!!! 😀
Inspiration for this poem was by this multi-picture photo frame hanging on my wall.. I was thinking of what to write for a 160, and I just happened to glance at this photoframe with all these lovely pictures of me, hubby and parents, friends and in-laws.. and ZING! There was my muse, my idea!! 🙂
Yes, life’s a beautiful ride on a warm breeze.. just flow along, and you will love it!
OUCH!!! I just got buried in that HEAP of love you just sent… (scrambling out)…phewww… YESSS!! Right back at ya girl!! heheheh
MWAH MWAH MWAH! Have a gorgeous week, and relax… take care, lovely lady…
You make me think of all kind of things with this, ranging from scrap-booking to movies, to the internet to life.
That was the intention!! 😉 Albums, scrap books, movies, all the media… they are all reminders and motivators indeed!
Cheers to these, and more!
Have a fantastic week ! 😀

Lovely poem, memories are indeed a “jolly ride”, and can keep you good company when you need them most. At the end all we have are our memories. 🙂
oh yes… amen to that!! Memories give us some motivation to make more memories in future as well 🙂
Cheers to that!!
And have a lovely week ahead!
Sweet write. nice to read and comforting.
Thanks for the friendship awards. I have added your name to the list of people I recieved the awards from in the post where I displayed the awards. Thanks.
Have a great week and a super August.
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed this soft read, Emmanuel… Hope you too had a jolly ride on reading it 🙂
And thanks for mentioning my name on your awards page…
Have a lovely week ahead!
I was going through my childhood pictures the other day and was thinking of writing something related to them. And now here I read this. telepathy?? lol
But I could not have written it so beautifully 🙂
Thanks for sharing
Awww… that’s very sweet of you, Asmita.. thank you so much for your words… and I am very glad to have written this poem JUST when you felt like it too!! ESP indeed! 😉
Am already looking forward to reading yours now…
Have a gorgeous week ahead!
Take care, and keep writing 🙂
What a nice way to start the day . . . a jolly ride on a warm breeze, not a roller coaster ride. It’s all good. As is the poem. A 160 I take it. Nice work. Thanks, Kavita. Never loose your lovely sparkle! 🙂
Awww… I am glad you read this soft poem at the start of your day, and am very happy you liked it too… 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind and sweet words, Jamie…Yes, this is a 160 :), and No, I won’t ever lose my sparkle (well, at least I will try not to! :))
Have a beautiful and FRESH week ahead!
Take care…
Loved the line…”jolly ride on a warm breeZe” life is such a positive feel”
Awww… it is a lovely ride, isn’t it? Glad you enjoyed the poem, Surbhi.. and thank you for your sweet words… I really appreciate it!
Enoy this FABULOUS ride! 🙂
Great pace and good rhymes. Flows quiet well. Lovely read and am very impressed with the 160 characters. Maybe I will try this some time.
Glad you enjoyed this light poem, Mark… And thank you for the encouraging words…
Yes, it is a 160 indeed 🙂 You really SHOULD try it sometime.. maybe this Sunday? 🙂
Have a fantastic August! 🙂
very lovely! and the meaning is wonderfully ambiguous! nicely done.

I usually am not a fan of ambiguity, but in this case, I take it to be a compliment :)… Thank you so much Marilynn… I really appreciate your kind words towards my work… This encouragement keeps me going! I am glad you enjoyed this light read…
Have a lovely August !
“…a full rapture / Of life’s grit and will / It’s not just a slide…”
Fantastic lines…. You know, Kavita, after you tried a Flash 55 the other day, I think it only right that I attempt my first 160 because of you, my friend! Now all that I need is to find out the requirements for a 160. lol Cheers
Awww.. thanks a bunch, Adam!! I was waiting for your comments! 🙂
I am very glad you enjoyed this poem… and I would be THRILLED if you try the Sunday 160…. it would be a breeze for you!! Phheewww…
As for the requirements, hmm… quite simple.. Post a story/poem in 160 characters or less on Sunday… and then leave a comment pointing to your post, on Monkey Man’s page… and you are done!! I am SURE you will enjoy it, Adam.. and reading the other writers’ 160s is really interesting and fun too!!
Have a FABULOUS week! And do let me know if you intend on trying out the 160… Actually, I will look out for your post anyway 🙂 By blogrolling you, I stay up to date on your works! 🙂
Take care, dear friend…
Aw, there can be such pride and joy in the photos of our past. Good rhyme scheme, great composition to have in these 160 characters. Such a cheerful thing, Kavita!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, Chris.. I always look forward to comments from you..
I am glad you enjoyed this 160 poem! Yes, memories are a good thing, and they help in motivating us in going forward too !!!
So, cheers to lovely memories…
Have a great week ahead!! 😀
It is amazing the flood of memories and feelings that a photo can bring back.
You can say that again.. a trip down memory lane is really awesome! It is also a great way to motivate yourself too!!!
Glad you enjoyed this tiny poem.. 🙂 And thanks for the kind words…
Cheers to memories!!!
Have a GORGEOUS week ahead!
Oh man, if I only had a way with words like you do, Kavita. And that’s not empty praise. I mean that. I was especially taken with these lines:
“But a full rapture
Of life’s grit and will”
And:
“It’s not just a slide
Of time in a freeze”
I love how you put words together in a surprising way. It gets delightful results. 🙂
Ohh…Tony, thank you so very much for your sweet words, and generous praise!! I am thoroughly flattered! I am extremely pleased to see that you enjoy my work, and I hope that my writing be able to get your attention in the future as well…
Really, thanks a bunch!! Your appreciation means A TON to me! 😀 (that grin says it all)
Have a lovely week ahead!
Fantastic poem.
i’m glad to know you
Aww.. The pleasure’s mine kseverny!!! Thank you so much for your encouraging words…
Have a wonderful week ahead! And have a great show too!!! 🙂
Very well done…memories should never be freeze frames , but organic and dynamic rides through our past…just wonderful to see it as you have written it. You’re always a treat 🙂

Awww…that’s very sweet of you, Tracy… Thanks a bunch for your kindness… I am very happy to see you enjoyed this teeeeny poem 🙂
Pictures are much much more than frozen memories.. They remind us of the beautiful lives we’ve led, and are motivators too!!!
Have a fantastic week ahead!!!
Very nice.

Glad you liked this…
