“breaks light”

Written for:  The Twiglets #244 - "breaks light"


waiting for light
to break through 
darkness


When lightbulb crashed
to the floor, it's tiny
pieces formed a mosaic.
Hard to clean up without
a light.


light breaks
across branches of maples
bird's cue to sing


         When a man purchased a brand new lamp
      he placed it next to  a thriving house plant.
              The light was intense,
              the plant took offense.
   Leaves browned and fell; lamp ignored demise of plant.

    I like all of these, Sara. The lamp is a jerk, though.

    Fun reads. Light keeps us wanting more… Though we need to be careful with the suns’ rays.
