Napowrimo #19: light bulb moments

Prompt for Day 19
Rall introduced a word that’s new to many of us: éclat. Dictionaries list several definitions, but it is the etymology that inspires the meaning chosen for today’s prompt. The word éclat is French, and we’re paying attention to its root éclater, “to burst (out), shine.” This means a flash or light bulb moment. Your poem should express the emotions that grip you as you experience your ’shock’ moment.


~ Haiku ~
fledgling light blossoms
inside the night dark garden
of my mind - Ah-ha!

Beautiful! That aha moment is definitely like a ray of light lighting darkness.
