LET THE END BEGIN
Look at me
upside down,
my feet tingly
belly SO hot
Who are these creatures
swooshing, fluttering,
zooming like dive bombers,
yet fearing to touch?
Wishing harm to me
planning my demise
it shall happen, that
one day all power
will rapidly
diminish...
and
end
--Your old fashioned
100-watt light bulb

Not quite the end I expected?! Well done, Steve!
ReplyDeleteOne day everything will end, just like they had started :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Magpie Tales. I love your take on this picture cue. Being a very visual person I can see the little lightbulb feet and belly. So imaginative an offering. Love it, honey.
