A thousand pardons. Lowell left site and thus the contest winner is Geezer for his poem "Light My Way" Please join me in extending congrats to him.
Light My Way
Hail to the lamp that shows the way
From the early lights
Made with sticks and hay
Flames contained in bowls of oil
Wicks made from cloth
Rolled in a coil
Lamps that shone on vellum bleached
Light to see by
While concepts reached
Flames reflected in shining glass
Tended and fed
Fuels of fat or gas
Lightning trapped in the wire
Loosed with a switch
Burning, sunlike fire
Oh flames of blue, white and yellow
I see the light
Guide this fellow
Congratulations
Gee!
Gee
Excellent work and best for the reward.
Yours as always, Ian
