Light Bulb Thinker
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 worm, is he comfy and masked?
Does he have to be?

A Light Bulb Moment
A Light Bulb Moment
Miracle Man
2/9/2022
To special people I’ve bequeathed some treasure,
with no strings attached its theirs to hold.
Thinking it will give them identical pleasure,
not realizing many times their re-gifted or sold.
Just because some object has been a treasure to me,
doesn’t mean that another will view it the same.
My thinking is, theirs, this object will always

Light Bulb In the Forest
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

Mentored By a Flickering Light Bulb
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 am dying," she told me. "This is your last chance."
This

Every Idea Wont Be a Light Bulb Moment
Every Idea Won't Be a Light Bulb Moment,

Tom
Every idea won't be a light bulb moment,
But great ideas can begin with you!
Generally, a great idea,
is worth no more than it's core thoughts,
and no less than the elation associated with it.

Thomas Edison's Mother
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 teacher did not want me there
Would my mother feel shame?
Would

A Christmas Light Bulb Re- Lit
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 in, up atop the roof,
All bulbs but one beamed bright,
I knew that it was "climb up time",
Up there

Light Bulb
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
born of friendship
inspires and gives life to each other

A Broken Light Bulb- Upon the Blanches
(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 day’s rustling
silk dreams.

Light Bulb Of Gadget Bursts
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 talk.
The light on the screen aims at Tekken and aliens
