Hi Harry,
The first stanza is a strong description of photos in an album. It seems the middle stanza shows how diaries and photo albums as so different yet they both tell a family's story.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.

It is so joyful at family gatherings. Your first and second stanzas mention items brought to the gathering and the third stanza is about talking about old times.
You have the correct amount of syllables for each line of you tercet stanza (3 lines). Of course I looked this up.
Very nicely written and good luck in the contest.

This trio of stanzas about personal and family memories makes a lovely poem. I like the exploration of different ways to store memories: in photos, in written words, and in shared experiences.

This is so true. Looking at family's photos makes me feel like if I were with them, in their countries or their houses.
Your text is very good, thank you very much for sharing it and good luck for the contest.

Thank you for the read and review. I pleased that the poem stirred some pleasant memories.
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is very nice and a topical that is very relatable. Inhave such memories too, laughing talking playing games, eating lots of Greek Food my mom made constantly. My family became distant from each other after my parents passed, so reading your poem allowed me to recall better times.
Excellent writing.

I usually do not review a post that is only for two cents but I made an exception for yours because of the subject that you chose for your work. It means a lot to me to be able to look through photograph albums of our family history. When I was growing up, there were not many pictures taken And I miss a lot of what happened in my life. Have a great day. Patricia.

Thanks for the read, review and sharing the importance of photographs. I too have gaps in the past that I wish I had photographic remembrances.
Comment from Navada
This is a really lovely theme! I'm sure many if not all readers can relate to this and have experienced the same warm feelings of nostalgia. One question - for the contest, did they want one stanza or three? Thanks for the share and good luck for the contest.

Hi, Harry. Have you changed your FS name? I see you've been around for a while, but I don't recognise this monicker!
Nice wee poem. Who doesn't enjoy AND learn when leafing through old photo albums?
Good luck in the contest.
