Shadows Shining down on objects, sunbeams ink dark shadows. Shifting and pooling, they silently take on shape, stealthily gaining ground. Swallowing day’s last rays, soon, they morph into night. Written Nov. 19th , 2015 for “Pleiades, Please! - Poetry Contest”.

I wanted to say "Brilliant" but wasn't sure if thats appropriate for a "Shadow" poem! :) None the less, this is really good, and glad to know of this form!
