Premium Member The Lite-Bulb Blinked

Oh!
the lite-bulb
blinked
it did
I felt it
but what was it
and where is it now
or light is too fast ~
or truth never lasts

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.

Premium Member 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

Premium Member The Bulb

Edison bulb
Instine formula
calling bet’s 
to the last three
a crazy intense formula
with pimples wild


set up now golden age
it was like a deck of card’s
down to the last three
with a gofey pimple on top
what appears now 
what happens now
the last two heads 
now he says drink 
he wants you gone

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SPRING

Premium Member Charlie found his Christmas Bulb

Charlie, a Christmas elf found his bulb at a quarter to two
The rest of the elves kept working, they were not through
Get off your duff and help us, his brother Jim said irritated.
Charlie was fearful of losing his bulb, so he procrastinated.
At the end of the tree trimming, he tried to take the bulb with him.
Who told Santa on him? Of course it was his brother Jim.

MIDNIGHT ARGUMENT

_Scene: John comes home drunk, midnight_

Car door slammed at 11:58.  
Keys sang like broken bells.  
Heavy feet dragged the dust in,
Almost slumping.  

"The night rider is back,"  
Sonia said to the empty room.  
He knocked anyway.  

"You reek of alcohol," she told the dark.  
"You never listen to advice."  
His hand lifted.  
Her eyes did not drop. Still.
"I won't back down, John."  
The bulb buzzed between them.

Premium Member 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 patron asked in a hushed tone.
They watched the amazing thinker, as he sat still as stone.

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
   that questions the whys and wherefores
   to become more
   of understanding and acknowledgement
   that one is nothing without the other.
With time, 
   it grows
   or dims
   as the source allows.

THE NIGHT RIDER RETURNS

Cab door slams. 
Midnight bleeds.  
Keys jingle like broken dreams.  
“The night rider is back,” she sighs.  
Beer breath fills that one room.  
“Who?” she asks the ceiling.  
“Useless woman,” he spits low.  
Single bulb shows a man unmade.  
Hand rises. Her eyes don’t move,
Fixed like a viper before its prey.  
“I won’t back down, John.”  
Pot hits floor. 
Emptiness reverberates.  
Days numbered, he growls.  
She stands, it's sure. 
Door turns to flag.

Bright Bulb Spark Ipso Facto

Not do bright after all

Glowing like a bulb

Covered way down deep in manure

Misrepresented and posing
as fertile soil

Backed up by so called expert 
quasi intellectual bright sparks 
types armed with clipboards
pie charts and endless statistics

To keep us all firmly in the dark

Using flattery as a conniving
erstwhile tool to make us all feel 

Ipso - facto 
De- facto
Tik - Tok - Toe

Aren't we therefore 

Er- Go

Also so very , very smart as well

THE DOOR AS LIBERATION

_Scene: After the fight_

His snore filled the room now,
Like air inside a balloon.
Thoughts run like sprinters in her mind. 
Steady. Distant. A retreat.  

Sonia stood. Always standing.
Her eyes locked on the door.  
Not wood. Not paint.  
An exit.  

The course was set,
Like the stubborn August breeze.  
Purpose sharpened in her chest.  
The bulb still buzzed.  
The night was almost over.
For two who once joked they were lovers.  
She breathed. She was ready.
