Shadow Play
the afternoon sun
shining through
my window
silhouettes of
fluttering leaves
dance on my leg

The Biggest Beach Ball
Saturn’s density
is so light it would
float on water
if you could find
a large enough pool
*
Night
my parents would
turn off my light
once I fell asleep
& then I would
wake up in darkness
terrified
*
Tome
my hardback copy of
Complete Monty Python Sketches
is surprisingly heavy
for such light reading
*
Playing One’s Cards
while Magic The Gathering cards
are quite light on their own
a cardboard box full of them
isn’t

Thief
“It’s amazing my hand
doesn’t float away
as I’m so light-fingered”
joked Mary
as she purloined
my chocolates

Last week I ended up writing six short poems for the prompt Silence. I enjoyed doing that so much I decided to do it again this week. I gave myself the prompt Light and made them all 15-20 words long. Feel free to do this too.

Deep thoughts for next time I have surgery: what if the solar system is a swimming pool for planets?
O.O

I like how you have large things being light and vice versa. 🙂
