Comment from Janice Canerdy
This concise ekphrastic poem is very descriptive and responsive to the picture. Your word choices and the poem's tone strongly imply that the lights there are just a bit much--somewhat gaudy. I agree. :-)

Hi Pam :)
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.
I love a list LOL! The best thing about my latest list, is that I'm not ruled by it - it's just there to give me a nudge if my muse won't play ball ;)
Best wishes as always, Debra

You are very welcome, Debra, and you make a good point about your list! Have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.
Comment from The Death
Hi Debs,
Hope you and the family are doing well! :) This virus has hit both UK and India really bad. I decided to login just to take my mind off all those things.
I loved the idea of this poem and can totally relate to it. It's quite a task untangling the string lights (we call them fairy lights here), but they make any space look beautiful. It sounds like a good idea to decorate the room using these to lighten up the mood. I enjoyed reading this.
Regards,
Anupam

Lovely to hear from you and thank you for the feedback! I hope you are well... All ok here, thanks - we're managing to keep safe in these strange and scary times.
Hope to be reading you soon, stay safe, love Debs x
ps; I call them 'fairy lights' too - but the prompt list I'm using said 'string lights!'

Thanks for warm response, Debs! :) Glad to hear all of you are safe. I'm also doing well.
I missed to check the prompt listing it seems. I might not post much, but will be here for a while to read and review.
Stay safe!
Regards,
Anupam

By any means necessary. The garden must be made beautiful, no matter how hard one must work or how creative they must be. When you look upon the results of your hard work, you may smile with appreciation. In much the same way you can enjoy the results of your finely composed poem.

Brilliant--you nailed those infernal XMAS lights--no matter how nicely your put them away, they tangle themselves whilst in hibernation. Delightful 4-way rhyme.

Same goes for link chains, etc. in a jewelry box.
Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, so true that string lights can be a tangled mess. Then you just put the tangled lot of it in a plant pot in a big lump and call it a modern-art tree.
Great job with this interesting subject, Debra. I will have a look to see your list of write abouts. :)

Debra, I love your poem String Lights. Only nine words, but those nine put images in my head that would take me a hundred words to match. Well done!

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for the fun way of looking at string lights - the sounds of all those end rhymes are so fun to say: tangled, wangled, mangled, and bespangled! I understand that the string of batteries in a Tesla is equally frustrating to find out which one is not working.
