Lamps


The lamps inside my home
   are quite unique;
Mid-Century Modern- 
   those styles still speak.
All those remaining now 
   are deemed antique:
the sixties and 
   the seventies mystique.

White lucite spun to weave 
   translucent spheres
that rest on smooth brass stems 
   with walnut leaves.
Their creative, curvy lines 
   survived the years
as each collector searches, 
   finds, and cleaves.

As for the colors- 
   often bright and stark- 
like avocado green
   and orange too,
as lights inside the 
   lucite globes did spark 
great interest 
   as their uniqueness grew.

The sixties and 
   the seventies mystique;
Mid-Century Modern- 
   those styles still speak.
All those remaining now 
   are quite unique.
The lamps inside my home
   are deemed antique.
