I'M Saying I'M a Nine

4th May 1969 I sensed a presence in my bedroom And saw a shadow on the wall; My heart nearly missed a beat. My hair standing on end, I slowly turned round. No one was there. Then I heard Laughter. HELP! for Andrea's contest

The shadow knows where the shadow goes when nobody shows. And in your mind, what you will find is an absence of any kind. Peace jack. :) Always so nice when you visit.

This is a good nonet Jack. At first I was carried away by the heartbeats of fearful expectations.....on reading it a second time I was more relaxed and wondered if somebody could have been playing a trick on you! [I suppose the author would like to keep that a mystery:)] // paul
