The writer of this poem places a strong and personal value into taking a single image. She believes by taking a photo she is capturing a specific moment in time that holds specific meaning to her, she uses significant metaphors to portray this idea. “Tuesday morning is sitting in my pocket now, safe from time.”This quote suggests that the writer is “saving” a specific moment in time from something negative. When she says this quote she is putting emphasis on the idea of “time”. She has portrayed the idea that “time” is a preditor, quickly chasing after its prey. Instead of watching it pass by, she captures it like an animal, keeping it safe in her “pocket”. The personal feeling the writer gets when taking a photo is a sense of relief, she is relieved to know that her memory is now locked away in a frozen image. For example, the quote “Memories slip away with time, I’d tell him. But photograph’s, they’re permanent.
