Senryu – NaPoWriMo

oil lamp lit – flickers
with its surrogate lit wick
a flash reflection

illusion created
something expected – seen
a lit oil lamp

out of the darkness
a flash of brilliant white light
illumination

I was taking a photo of this oil lamp I’d recently acquired for a fairy tale post I wrote yesterday…this one was odd man out…but it did present an interesting illusion, it seemed to be lit a little trick played by my flash which I’d forgotten to turn off.

Today I also posted photos and 3 haiku on Through the Eye of Bastet dedicated to shadows…pleas go have a look!
