James Lebron
I am just a TV spectator when it comes to sports . I usually get my sports information on Vocal with Clyde E. Dawkins. Why I choose to write a poem on James Lebron? I feel he is a rare basketball player as well as an individual. I would love to see him in person. Every Country in the world especially basketball fans knows and respect James Lebron. I am writing this poem during the Month of February 2023, here in the USA , we celebrate Black History Month . I feel James Lebron is breaking records in so many ways. I hope my poem do him justice of such an amazing man:

I love your work! This hits home so much. Even when we have time, looking through tangible photos does not come to mind. At least not mine. I have 4 kids that come from 2 different "generations." Our oldest two reminded me how sad it is that her generation is the last to have stills/prints. I didn't realize it, but for our two younger kids every picture/photo/still/video are all digital. Even their ultrasounds are all different. Respectively by age: they go VHS, DVD, Digital, QR code...
You. I like to shift through old photos every blue moon.

Beautiful! Well deserving of the Top Story nod!!
Very good
Beautiful and provocative
Such is the tragedy of life! Always take and have pictures but never have the time to go through them or never have a place to display them or they lay left somewhere forgotten. The beauty in it is that one day you will open the trunk they sit in and it will feel like the most beautiful treasure there is! So well written and thought out! Well done, Mariann!
Congratulations! love this haiku.
