SPACE LAMPS OR UFO ALIEN BEINGS
In the cosmos where colors collide/
Under a canvas of vibrant pink and purple tide two abstract figures, hats tilted just so/
Stand tall in the galaxy, putting on a show/
Geometric shapes dance in a minimalist spree, Jazz notes shine like stars, wild and free/
Are they space lamp illuminators, or comedians in flight?

new lava lamps
The abandoned Mansion was once owned by the Adams Family.
They were doing a terrific business in their lumberyard at the time.
Day laborers who were not busy were sent over to build their home.
It was gorgeous in its heyday, lovelier than anything else on the block.
There were other ritzy mansions, said my auntie, just not this

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

Of Lamps and Leaves
My floor lamp's supple branches
spread out from its base
When there's a draft in the room
they wave all over the place
Did I mention that the color
of this floor lamp is gold
The leaves dropped off, sadly

Venus
More beauteous than Helen of Troy!
More beauteous than all beauty queens!
More beauteous than the foggy eves:
More beauteous than the starry beams;
Was it thou angels Who beguiled?
With thy unearthly beauty sheen!
In far off, far off, far off well
From centuries hanging they unseen
Which name of Lord thou learned from Them?
By which magic them

Two Street-Lamps In the Night
My words are frail, like the pale souls of the night to light which they seep - tenderly fragile - -
as though they may weep if not well received,
as though his response may burn - like fire to cloth, into my temple,
and his eyes cause such unease.
But if only to stay
and soak in the charming

Wishes On Lamps
Wishes on lamps
By Michelle Morris
31/10/2020
Let's get together and write our
wishes for the future;
Let's release them on lamps and
allow them to float up and
far beyond our location...
Let's focus on those wonderful
wishes coming true -
Blessings and abundance
for the world and our
loved ones too...

Couple of Lamps
Valentine sweethearts Lacy and Don
Sing about how their lights go out and on
Neighbors can hear them singing out on the lawn
That shaded couple, Lacy and Don
They look like lamps a shrimpy guy said.
Oh course they are agreed Shawn and Ned
What are lamps? Asked Goldie Shed.
You know, don’t you? Asked a clover bed.
They

Light From Many Lamps
It is the light
From a man's heart
Reflected by women,
Sensing every part.
It is the zenith
Energizing every limb
But be careful
Gluttony is a sin.
It is the soul of men
Loving glow of women
Made to glow
By the hands of the Almighty.
It is women galore
Partaking of splendor
Like full moon's glow
We were made to shine.
It is mere reflection
Charted by the divine
So, if

The Light and the Shadow
Thieves run faster
Than the searching light
Into the shadows
Of wrong deeds
To light up the shadows
God lights up
The lamps in their hearts

Bubbles
She started at dawn
when dew was glistening,
and bubbles were dancing
to the tune of kerosene lamps.
