The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Wishes

Aladdin’s lamp, bright and burnished,
shining with the hopes of many,
who rubbed and polished the surface
with demands beyond a penny.

And what if one day the genie,
awoken in the lamp so amplified,
should issue forth and grant the wish -
what chance the dream be satisfied?
