Inspired by a pictureA
-
I have an old and faded photograph of a beautiful young bride on her wedding dayB
She was my bride many years ago so I will write a composition about this photographC
-
Although a thousand words are not enough to express all the feelings of my heartD
This picture of my darling ex wife as the saying goes is worth a thousand wordsE
I say this despite my inability to estimate the amount of words that her picture is worthF
Perhaps I will have to write more than a thousand words about it in a compositionG
It may not require so many words to describe the visual aspects of the pictureA
But I will need countless words to convey the emotional effects that it has on meH
-
This picture brought back happy memories when I found it in a box in the atticI
It also reminded me of the sad moments that Sash and I occasionally experiencedJ
Sadly we did not learn to take the bad with the good and so we had to split upK
Every time I look at this lovely picture I begin to think about the woman that I lostL
The things that happened and the things that did not happen come to mindM
How I wish I could go back to the wonderful day that she took this photographC
-
I along with many other people say that a picture is worth a thousand wordsE
But that phrasing does not appear to be a realistic thing it is just a popular sayingN
Has anybody ever actually written a thousand words about a single pictureA
This old and dusty photograph of Sash puts many words in my thoughts tonightO
And I am going to write all the things that I am thinking about at the momentP
I will count the words just to see whether I can write a thousand words or notQ
-
A professional photographer took this picture of Sash on the day of our weddingN
The photograph was taken indoors and it does not have a scenic backgroundR
All I see in the background is a plain wall and a drape that hangs in front of a windowS
But the beautiful image that I see in the foreground will always be in my memoryH
I proposed to Sash when she was twenty five years old and she accepted my proposalT
The day that we pledged to love and cherish each other was the best day of my lifeU
-
Sash is wearing a bridal gown with white lace and she appears to be posing for an artistV
She has silver earrings in her ears and a fetching hairstyle with silvery hair jewelleryH
I keep gazing at her pleasant countenance because she is such a photogenic womanG
Her pretty eyes are like the eyes of an angelic being and she has the most sensual lipsW
I am sure the woman in the well known Italian painting is not as beautiful as she isX
This photograph is more valuable to me than an expensive masterpiece in an art galleryH
-
A picture is worth a thousand words I have heard people say this many timesY
Frankly it puzzles me as to whether anybody should take this phrase literally or notQ
To speak or write a thousand words about one picture is easier said than doneG
I could write many other things about this evocative picture in my compositionG
But I have no desire to reveal personal and private information to the readersZ
Moreover I will not write unnecessary things just to add more words to my storyH
-
Sash is holding the drape with her left hand and she is looking out the windowS
The golden wedding ring on her finger does not show because the drape is covering itA2
She is not wearing much makeup she does not need anything to prettify herselfB2
A closer look at the photograph reveals just pink lipstick and purplish eye shadowS
This charming face is her real appearance I am looking at her natural beautyH
She was my pulchritudinous young bride and I was her handsome young bridegroomC2
-
I stored this picture somewhere for many years and I could not recall where I placed itA2
When I look at the subject the emotional pain outweighs the happiness in my heartD
I see the shapely figure that I used to embrace and the soft lips that I used to kissD2
Although I did not want Sash and I to separate I could not stop her from leavingN
There is no question about my undying love for Sash I will always be in love with herH
Judging from my sad tone of voice anyone could easily tell that I miss her very muchE2
-
This x photograph was printed in portrait mode on high quality Kodak photo paperH
I am going to scan it and save a JPEG image on my laptop computer for future useF2
Now that I have found the picture of my ex wife I do not want to misplace it againG2
It is my favourite photo so I will enlarge and frame it and hang it on the bedroom wallH2
Every night I will look at Sash s picture and think about her before I go to sleepI2
Although this will cause me emotional pain I hope that I will see her in my dreamsJ2
-
I disagree with the phrase because I think a picture is worth more than a thousand wordsE
It is difficult to write long verses about a picture that does not have many objects in itA2
I am a man of few words and I am not an author so I do not know if I can do much writingN
But I have taken on the challenge to write one thousand words about this photographC
This story is not a fantasy or an imagination it is my recollection of the love that I lostL
I am eager to tell others why this picture of a young bride is worth a thousand words to meH
