A Photograph
- Shirley Toulson
'A Photograph' is a poem written by Shirley Toulson. In this poem there is a photograph which is pasted on a cardboard. This snap has three faces on it. All of them are girls. The middle girl is the tallest and eldest and holding hands with two other girls both on each of her sides. This tallest girl is Poetess's mother. And the two girls are Betty and Dolly. Their feet were drowned by the sea water. This tells the author that the sea has not changed yet but her mother gets changed. This photograph is taken before the poetess was born. Her mother is on a beach holiday with her family.
In that picture her mother is twelve years old or so. She is looking very pretty. According to the poetess after twenty-thirty years her mother looks at the photograph and tells the author how her parents would dress them up for taking to beach. One of the favourite memories of her mother is the beach holiday while the author's favourite is her mother's laugh.
Now her mother is no more, she is dead. The author is feeling lonely and missing her. She can't express her grief.
