Another time, another age;
Another phase, another stage.
A different style of decoration;
Another source of inspiration.
The subject so demure, not bawdy;
The colour muted and not gaudy.
The shadow's timeless though, because
A shadow is what a shadow was.

A PUNNY INTERLUDE
Don't you love it! Isn't it 'cute'!
Isn't this cartoon a hoot!
Gerald! Gerald! You've done it again!
I know I'm singing an old refrain.)
I love puns and quirky minds.
Gerald has been one of my finds.
I'm not one to laugh out loud
I'm really one of the 'sniggering' crowd,
But a little titter did emerge
And I felt a bit of a 'guffaw' surge!
I feel this needs wider recognition.
So I am on a 'spreading' mission.
Gerald is a misogynist
While I'm a rampant feminist!
That body looks feminine to me,
The fingers spreading daintily!
Gerald! Gerald! Clean up your act
Or I'll leave your fan-club!
That's a fact!

great poems!
Hee, hee. Gerald Gee.
Not me.
Only he.
Elegant indeed. The supports for the shade are so delicately decorative.
it looks to be a very elegant oil (?) lamp. I'm sure it's shadow in the dark is very dramatic compared to this lovely, soft version.
I love those beautiful old lamps! And what a delightful shadow shot it makes, Brenda! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

A truly beautiful lamp, very elegant!
Lovely lamp photo and I enjoyed the poem. Especially the line 'a shadow is what a shadow was' ...deep!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
What a gorgeous elegant lamp, great shadow
I like your shadow shot. It is elegant. Youir words speak the truth.
I wonder about the Gee cartoon. Was that only suppose to happen to a man? I thought matricide to be genderless:-)
Peace.
What a lovely muted shadow from the lamp - like lace!
Great comic and poems as well!
