Moon In Protest

Many nights to work Edison to come with his light,moon then and there to protest,he sat at last under the broad day light and worked for it.


Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison
was known to be reticent
but he decided to make the world bright
so he told them about his kitchen light

Weight and Light

Working day and night,

To make life a bright,

Edison brought light,

Like,the hand of might,

On all Lanka's light,

Hanging a weight,

Not light!

Edison Lives

EDISON LIVES!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa

The last breath of Edison,

Refused to go to the grave in dark,

But in the vial of Henry Ford,

Under it's master's light!

Thomas Edison

Tom sat there eating the last of his bread,
wondering if the next day he'd get fed,
felt like a dumb cluck,
down on his luck,
till a light went off the top of his head.

Invention of the Lightbulb

It was Edison In a lab
Gave night its noon.
He bottled up all he could
Of that hour's boon.
And washing walls the world over
By volt overseen
Moved the sun to frankness;
"My auxiliary sheen!"

Mandela Gone

The foundation of the UNO collapsed,
The Nobel trust bankrupted,
In my dreams,
Where is Mandela?

Again in dark,the continent
Invite Edison,
Where is Mandela?

Mandela gone,
Wiping the tears all in mourn!

Ethereal enigma echoed empathic eel ‘s emotional elevation
Elongated elusive elephant-like Edison expected ectoplasm
Extrasensory efforts of exacting Ellis effortlessly eludes evildoers
Exasperating empathetic eel and elusive ethereal enigma

Premium Member Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison couldn't sell the idea of selling electricity
to business or residence in any major state or city.
The biggest fear for seven years that was often being disputed
was that if one were to turn a light on, they could get electrocuted.

VIOLIN  - multiform 

the old cedar chest
cracks with a dry musty blast
an edison bulb
in the gloom brings back the past
old news and dad’s violin

scratchy violin
alexander’s ragtime band
old 78

now the house lights dim
quiet anticipation
walking on – perlman!

BETWEEN WORLDS

BETWEEN WORLDS

With a flash of lightning
The old world became detached
And parted
To create a parallel science
Edison may have felt frustration
But the new world started
Batteries now hold the power
Electric cars will soon rule the roads
Yet Elon might still seem cold hearted

The Vastness of Your Mind

The vastness of your mind,
can take an idea and turn it into anykind,
the mind is a wonderful thing,
use it wisely, you know not what it will bring.

Look at Edison, Ford and Bell!
Follow their dreams and you can't fail,
so use the vastness of your mind,
and turn that idea into anykind.

Westinghouse won the currency war,

but here’s what nobody can ignore:

Edison’s fame forever burns bright

for his phonograph, film, and long-lasting light!

Premium Member tribute to Thomas Edison

Edison
most of us think electric light bulb
it took him 10, 000 recorded tries
that is 9, 999 failures
but he did it.

Edison
did you know he also invented the motion picture camera?
in 1892?
he had such an amazing mind
I have no idea how many failures he had before he got it right.
He was a persistent genius.

Edison

Warmth Without Edison

This morning clouds filled the sky
Fighting back the patience of the sun
Just waiting, perchance with desire 
In hopes that the wind would confuse the mist
And like me, waiting for you
An opportunity might arise 
Offering a chance to shine
And feel your tenderness
Surround me
Making shadows useless
And electric heaters passé

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

1879 
First light bulb 
Invented by Thomas Edison 
1879 
Over 3,000 designs 
A science inventor 
Carbonized filament 
History in the making 
Eclectic lightening 
An extraordinary idea 
Glass reflects the light 
Fluorescent bright 
Lamp shines 
Current through utility 
Illuminating 
Used everyday 
Creative indeed 
Light so we can see

Premium Member at heaven's gate

Don’t have to walk the dog
Or let the cat out
Don’t matter
If the seats left up or down
I always know 
Who farted
Still ask
Why are “we”
Watching this
Still check the mail
Mr. Edison
Writes monthly
The Maitre d’ shouts
“table for one”
OK…OK…
It’s the local deli
And a guy
Wearing baggy
Rubber gloves shouts
“NEXT”
I picture him
At heaven’s gate
Shouting…..
