Best Light Bulb Poems

His beat rages for hours
darting to the computer table
without time to greet Mom or Dad
as the light pops every minute; wired in 
space, lost  in blank words when he speaks,
enthralled to level up and gain power points
because he cares more for video than human...

(Haikus from my short poetry collection in Greek: Se ?????? st????? ??????asµ????, Perched on a few verses, 
translated by me.)

A broken light bulb.
It’s dawning. The naked street.
A butterfly.

Upon the branches 
of dawn, the...

I felt cold winter winds upon 
My face, my hands, my ears, 
Wet blowing snowflakes, chilly white, 
That to my eyes brought tears. 
I was outside hanging lights 
That would in darkness glow 
And with their multicolored rays 
Create for all, snow shows. 
When plugged...

A light bulb
   that when turned on
   is faint and low, range amber flow
   then as it warms
   the given light
   glows bright and strong
   filling the room.
A love

My face, my hands, my ears,
Wet blowing snowflakes, chilly white,
That to my eyes brought tears.
I was outside hanging lights
That would in darkness glow

All bulbs but one...

Light Bulb Thinker settled down to concentrate on work
Ideas were parading, from his job he did not shirk.
Librarians hushed their clientele, so LBT could think.
Phrases and vocabulary came to him in green, yellow and pink.

Wonder what is happening? Another thinker asked.
Not sure, said the book...

I was lost, despondent, not figuring out my life in any way
When a flashing light bulb that was dying became my mentor.
She hissed at me, but I did not hear.
I saw her blink, but did not linger.
Hey you! She finally yelled.
Desperate to straighten me out.
"I...

dainty scavenger floats down
onto a mystery orb 
peeks through her pretty window

wondering at the sheer beauty
of this effervescent petal
something mystical about her

An anomaly in the woods
Possibly grown by the 
Felled tree

Never saw a full grown oak
landing in this spot before
A magic moment...

A Light Bulb Moment
Miracle Man
2/9/2022

Thinking it will give them identical pleasure,

Is worth no more that its core thought’s,
And no less than the elation associated with it.

My mother loved me into wonderfulness
An odd child, too unusual for school.
I was sent home the first day, with a note.
I watched my mother’s face, for nuances.
A small wavering cheek dimple would have
Confirmed my most horrid fears.
I could tell by the whisperings of the day
The...
