i dislike the light of long life bulbs


The Everlasting Light

I cannot like this light it is too harsh
And cold and brash.
After hours of warming it does not hue
Or blight me to ignite myself to dash
Towards care unless I am mortuary bound.

I like things pretty peached and splashed
With a creaminess all around.
Fortunately I have paints so I can smile
As you try to see me in the shadows
Of the light that casts improper warmth.


Light is very important.
It shines on us so we know
How to see another thing.

Even when it's dark.

I, and most others here, relate to this. Our leaders who apparently have nothing else they can agree on have banned incandescent light bulbs, beginning with the lower wattages but soon none will be available. The light of the alternatives is stark, brittle, about as subtle as being pierced in the eyes with needles. I bought a closet-full of the old bulbs, but when they're gone, so will a way of seeing.

You can't beat a good candle, I'm all for a bit of ambiance and flattery. None of this harsh light, great subject, nicely put.

How about a candle in a jam jar?. Goes well with me two week old copy of the 'Telegraph, I use as a tablecloth once I've had me fish suppa out of it.. Very deeply into environment conservation 'ereabouts!.Oh and that bath I used to keep coal in?...Now use it for keeping me sustainable resource haddock in...Change the water once every fortnight though and get a scrub down wi'it.

Yes: just as it's all in the timing, the lighting's gotta be right too!
I've sensitive eyes, me, so I can't be doing with anything other than a soft and comforting glow. This nifty piece captures brilliantly the starkness of some lights, particularly in the sinister reference to the mortuary, and ends... well, let's just say I'll be having some interesting dreams tonight!
Nice one!
