Light Up Your Life !

Missing image
Light up your life,
I mean this quite literally.
Buy a Tiffany-style lamp..
I'm beaming (quite witerally).

I suddenly feel like
I'm worth so much more,
I feel like I'm rich..
Ma lampe, j'adore!

On the table it stands,
all shiny and new,
produced by skilled artisans,
welded, no glue.

Rolled stained glass,
five hundred and four,
with six lacquered jewels,
(who's keeping score?)

I've never owned
an heirloom before.
I feel like I'm royal,
a peasant no more!

If it falls on the floor,
it will be a travesty!
But 'til that day comes,
please call me "Your Majesty".


Author notes

I bid on a Tiffany-style lamp at eBay. I was the only bidder. I couldn't believe my good fortune! I've always wanted a Tiffany lamp..it isn't Tiffany but it's as close as I'll ever get!

I hope my good feelings make you feel good too (because I'm really feeling GOOD!!!)

    Well, it's pretty easy to tell that your quite pumped about your new purchase this contest was supposed to make ME feel good...and surprisingly enough, this poem has made me feel better than most of the poems entered.... I love the fact that a simple lamp can make you feel like a peasant no more, thank you "Your Majesty" for this interesting and some what awkwardly pleasant write.

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

      I'm glad my poem brightened your day (you just brightened mine)! I hope your day gets better as it goes on. Some days are like that..just when you think it was a total waste, something happens that changes everything.

      Thanks a lot for your nice comment!

      HAVE A GREAT DAY!

    Groovy Write! I thought the pic coupled with your piece was a great combination ! I love this line:

    never owned
    an heirloom before.
    I feel like I'm royal,
    a peasant no more!

    Fabulous Really!

    Namaste'
