Incandescent

A spectrum of poems by Lyndon Wood

Incandescent (in-ken-des-ent) adj.: producing a bright light when heated

When creating these pieces, I had no idea what I was going to write about. I had no pre-planning, no thinking‌ Nothing. I placed my fingers on the keyboard, and let them go wherever they wanted. I Never looked back, except to check grammar mistakes. The hardest part of this entire collection was the title. None of the poems had anything to do with the others, so I was stumped on what the title should be. Then I came across the word incandescent. This as, listed above, means ‘to produce a bright light when heated.’ This was exactly what I was looking for. Because I feel when these pieces were written, my fingers were on fire as letters banded together, words formed into one. Now that they are all together, the finale has been ignited, Together creating an incandescent collection that I hope others enjoy reading as much as I did creating. {L.W.}

All the animals know her as the Lonely One. The only human around.

And they say if you listen closely at night, You can hear her sing:

The perfect place to laugh and play.

And even be quite silly.
