Thanks. You know, I had never really paid attention to morning shadows, because I'm a night person and they are generally gone when I get up midmorning.

The sunrise moments are rendered admirably well in this fine haiku, Milton. I love the title, too. :)

Thank you so much, Lasaad. I found the morning shadows from my kitchen window very intriguing so I stood to watch them retreat until they disappeared. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks, Tom. I was watching a shadow from my kitchen window this morning...watching it slowly disappear. I had never observed that quite that way before.
