“dimmed lights”

Written for:  The Twiglets #310 - dimmed lights


Six previews,
six advertisements–
then, dimmed lights.
Finally, main feature.


Lights dim in restaurant,
what are they hiding?


in dimmed bedroom
monster grins from corner chair
sliver of moonlight


         There was a man so dimwitted
     he went skiing, knowledge limited.
             Rented boots and skis
               for a hefty fee.
Fell down in boots.  Luckily skis were omitted.

    I have seen that monster before. He was always gone when I woke, thankfully. Nice job with four different thoughts.

    Second one is a pet peave of mine. I have enough trouble seeing, without someone whipping off the lights.

    1) Lucky if you only had six ads… We just saw ‘A Man Called Otto’ – the volume is always too loud.
    2) Never go into the kitchen of your favorite resturant!
    3) Brave monster to get out from under the bed or leave the closet 🙂
    4) Awe… at least only perhaps his pride was dimmed. 😀
