A Long Shadow

Slipping into shapes
sun drips streams 'round darkest depth
and I, feeling small,
find even smallest ants cast
shadows long 'neath vast blue skies.

Even about bugs your words are lovely, colorful, and gentle. Hope your new year is off to a good start.

Rhonda please check contest rules again. I think "smallest ants cast long shadows"- the whole line should be used somewhere in the poem.Pl check and confirm. This is an extremely good one. A perfect 10.Love. Brilliant exposition Rhonda. My fav.Rajat
