2950



Thomas Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was a pioneer in innumerable ways. He invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the light bulb; ran a successful business and research laboratory, was a tough (and eccentric) job interviewer, had his last breath collected by pal Henry Ford, and—perhaps most notably—recorded the world's first cat video. We are forever indebted.

a wolf-howl in the distance
tell-tale echo

night rhyme
the tongue a winter storm
speaking poetry

    Your 13 is great for me. Thank you for the prompt tribute to Thomas E, I hadn't thought of him for a long time. And I'm not sure that I ever knew he was responsible for motion pictures. Do you remember those little flip books? We let the corners flip out from our fingers and we saw motion. I wish I had one now.

    These are wonderful, Gillena. Some of my favorites by you, especially the first two. The imagery is so vivid that lingers.

    And again, Happiest (belated) Birthday!
