		I love short poems. I know we don't require critique here, but leave me share some thoughts with you.
 
I saw the pictures
from your sister’s wedding;
you in that slit red dress
like you could tango standing still.
 
I could hear the music.
You were looking up at him
with eyes I've never seen.

Just my thoughts,
Todd

I saw the pictures from your sister’s wedding;--I would consider breaking this line on pictures. I think both pictures and wedding would make good end words in the poem
you in that slit red dress--Great wording
