Distractions


When I first began exploring photography, 
In the pre-digital age, 
The man who developed my photographs 
Encouraged me to take a weeklong workshop 
(Held in the town where I now live). 
One of the first things we learned 
 Was to be very aware of what’s on the edges 
That might prove distracting — 
And clearly in this I forgot to do that:
 I was so enchanted by that bright orange, 
I didn’t see my own feet! 
And what a life lesson that is…
