An Electric Light Bulb
An electric light bulb is a marvelous thing
A globe of glass and gas and wires within
You can almost hear the filaments sing
When light upon a page lets your reading begin
By what magic does this wonderful device
Receive invisible aethers from long wires
This strange glowing pearl beyond any price
As it relights from Sol its little fires
An electric light bulb is a poet’s delight
Framing pentameter all through the night

An electric light bulb is a poet’s delight
Framing pentameter all through the night
A poem is itself.
