I really like this poem. Nice work. The word lamp is a nice touch. Every now and then I see a poem in the shape of an image and ask myself, how do they do that? 

@starmanjones - Haha! I won’t tell. I do know about center justified text. I guess I was referring to creating lines that work in the context of the poem but also fit within the desired image lines. Word is one of the several programs I was expert in from 2000 through 2008. I had to know just about everything one can do with the program and there is a lot. There’s was also a lot to know about what not to do. I had to “de-corrupt” many Word documents because people who created them didn’t understand embedding a table inside of a table (called nesting) would cause a long document to become unworkable, for example. There was a phenomena known as “dancing bullets”. Bullets in the Word document would actually move back and forth or in little circles. When I saw that I knew the document had to be totally rebuilt from scratch. Anyway, you got me thinking and I went off on a tangent.
