Lit Up….

Hello Poetry Lovers

Another great prompt from Sue Burge’s mind gym, which is Lucent. This can be taken so many ways and any sort of light can be fun.

Who remembers lighting a match for one of the frequent smokers of the past, and their features looking so different in that fleeting glow? Fascinating, if not always flattering.

I’ve currently written a sad one for now…..

You are lucent when you talk to her

Your thin features lit up 

When you look at me, they go 

Perceptibly dim. 

How did I put your fire out?!

It was pretty hot a few months ago 

There’s no light in your voice 

When I call 

And the world is dark when you don’t 

Call Me
