My inspiration to write "Gold Frame" was from a poem I read written by Raymond Carver called "Photograph of My Father in His Twenty-Second Year". The poem is about a picture of his father that his mother had for many years. He goes on to explain what the picture of his father looks like and what memories and emotions are held within that. When I read this poem I connected with how important a single object such as a picture can have so much meaning to someone. "Gold Frame" is written to my grandfather and is my story of how the memories and love I have for him will always be in held within a single object. I hope while reading this poem people will connect with the simple and little things in life, and understand how much meaning these things can hold. Little things that might not seem significant, sometimes hold the deeps connection one may ever have. After all I never though a silly drawing that I made when I was three would be something I would cherish for the rest of my life in a gold frame.
