Best Lamp Poems

You all see a romantic couple kissing
I see a lonely lamp post
You all see the blossom of love
I see a fading light
You all see the spring of love
As I see the terror of another lonely night...

THE NIGHTINGALE LOST HER LAMP

Anita’s eyes were brown. 
She was the kindest of angels.
Her speech firm with authority 
but reassuring with a glass- like
sensitivity; she seemed to know all.
 
Prompt as a rooster's first crow,         
that's how...

Gently… 

lamp posts call me,

to sleep on rainfall’s quilt

as dewdrops, to misty stardust

calm breath.

Buzzing loudly,
Is that coming from me?
Dust and filth in my shade,
Slightly cracked, was this how I was made?
My light yellowed and dim,
The chances of me getting a new light bulb are slim.
But I've been here for so long,
Everywhere else feels wrong....

Bake my cakes, in the oven too.

Life was not a bed of roses for many women
             who, for time eternal,
             left footprints and paved our path, so we can walk with our heads high.
             often...

"Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
     Where there is darkness, only light"

~ From the Hymn "Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace" (usually known as the "Prayer of Saint Francis" or "Peace Prayer") by St. Francis of Assisi...

The night caresses my eyes with the darkness
The only light is from a street corner lamp
Its orange-yellow glow eases my mind
And the calm within the beams is sentimental
Not only does it have a pleasant aroma to it
It shines with an aura of peace and calm...

The kindly old lamplighter ambled about the village green,
Lighting lamps to add a glow to that Norman Rockwell scene!
Sitting on a bench in the shadows to reminisce for awhile,
He recalled many by-gone scenes that evoked a wistful smile!

At Yuletide, carolers stood 'neath the lamps singing...

The storm of the night was windy
Loud refrains of thunder with lightening
Willow shook with fright hair fell flimsy 
Forsaken somehow by electrical power's might

So writing by faint oil lamp light
Thinking of the great who of yore
Read_wrote_under adversity
Strong people our ancestors who our genes bore

Touched in...

ALADDIN’S    LAMP



Used to think it was just a fairy story,
Impossible dream  -  fun to imagine:
Rub certain parts and it talks, 
A  genie-image  appears and sees me,
And will  work for me,
Can transport me anyplace instantly,
And  speak many...

Next Stop F-stop 2.8

Got to get out of the city,
if you want to see the galaxy.
(Be sure to grab your camera on your way out the door,
cause there’s no turning back).

Must escape man’s brilliance,
man’s electric-mind;
street lamps with flesh-light, blue-light, and corpse-light, 
lights that hum, 
lights...

Bristling yet beguiling winds are
driving snow sheets through the dark,
and, secured by brick and lamp,
I draw a comforter to my breast,
one woven by humanity.

I sense that each quickening gust
is pulling through the loom of time
life's many multi-colored threads.

A hickory brown is borne to me
of ships...
