I like the contrasts here, and the imagery of shallow shadows, a wonderful write, Lin~

This has such a wonderful rhythm when read out loud Lin. The first two words are really a great juxtaposition; followed by the spill and fill and sh's of shallows and shadows. Really nice. Thanks

Hi Jeff. It's always a pleasure to read your comments. You always catch my drift (pun intended on the title). You know it's difficult for me NOT to rhyme somewhere within my lines. Thanks so much.

a powerful and stunning one-liner, Lin. I liked 'shallows and shadows'--perfect as was your title. Hope you're well...hugs, Sara

"shallows and shadows" yes very restricting indeed. Very nice, Lin:)

The Lady of Shalott was not in a happy place to be painted nor being immortalized by Tennyson. Thank you, Danny.

This one packs a lot of punch Lin. Your time away has fully recharged your quill. Tom

It may have recharged my quill, but my body needs catch up time. Lol Thanks so much for liking this Monoku, Tom.
