The Pose

Stand there,
Not like that,
Like this,
That’s right,
Just hold it,
Move your hand,
Turn you’re your feet,
Toes apart,
Comb your hair
Look this way,
Turn to me,
You, not you,
That’s just right,
Hold it there,
Keep it still,
A great big smile,
Say cheese,
Hold it,
Snap,
Nice one.

As mentioned elsewhere I have a preoccupation with photography and snapshot photography in particular. This is one of the first poems I wrote.
