I mostly post my poetry first on Instagram, (unless it is a patron-exclusive poem). Then, each Sunday here on the blog, I post the poem that has got the most Insta likes.
The poems are inspired by photographs, sometimes taken by me, sometimes by others.
And now for this week's poem:
Light House
I am younger
than the lamp
that lights my street
and the lighthouses
by the seas
that warn of rocks
and wreckage.
My grandmother knew candlelight
when it was not a totem
of romance
but inadequate
to the dark.
People, we have harnessed light.
