Analysis of the "Snapshotland" poem

When I saw the title of this particular poem, I had thoughts that it suggests to me...
Words that we may not know:
-sepia> photos with brownish tin
-Kodachrome>a type of film



And here are they:
-Photos
-Camera
-Photo of scenery
-Land area
-Special occation
- Family people

List of all the things which force their attention on me or which catches my interest for one reason or another after reading this poem.......
The list/words are:
-smile
-never
-forever
-ever
-permanent
-just


Fugurative Language used in this poem:
(Alliteration) "and smile and smile and smile" and "smooth sand......sea......smile......smile....smile...sun shines...sepia.....sandboys......sandgirls.......stop smiling.....sea-shore"

(Assonance) "................... never
......................right
.....................air
......................passengers
........................sight"

(Symbole) "people seating at the beach relaxing"


Group of words that may be thematically similar (for example, that all similes make reference to animals/death/plants, etc., or all the first words of lines are conjunction words, etc.):
-"pleasure-boat"
-"gingham pinafores"
-"smiling through"

The poem is formal so there is no rythm or poems.....

Guessing the meaning:
>The poem is written to send a message to people to appreciate photos as holds the memories that you cherrish the most. As well as telling people to take care of the photos, they are your path through memory lane.
