I am cheating today...

Hello out there in Internet land! Today has been rather hectic, with barely any downtime to update on here. So I am going to cheat. The following is a poem that I wrote a few months back; I like it, and most live people I have shown it to like it as well. So since I am short on time here it is:

The lampshades are tired.
Most of them have been up for years.
You can tell which are the most exhausted,
by the dents and burn marks,
that happen
when they doze
off into slumber
and lean against their uncompromising friends,
the light bulbs.
Moreover they themselves are tired.
Only emitting
a dull,
yellow,
glow,
that,
though it warms the place,
never really lets you see it.
The light bulbs are spiteful creatures.
They pretend to be in love
with the weary lampshades,
simply to make the lampshades feel better,
and so they will stop complaining of the heat
the light bulbs make.
“It is all for you!” they say to the lampshades.
When in reality
they resent
having to be filtered
through such worn-out things.

-Lampshades


Okay, that was it. Let me know what you think.
