Shadow

The Dark Side Of The Moon .

Shadow

Shadow is the first poem I had written in the year 1980 .I was 9 years old .
(It was not displayed on the wall with my class poems at St Sidwells in Devon) My parents were informed by the school that they believed I had  to copied the poem .My punishment was to receive 3 strikes of the cane .However , my headmaster struck a pillow and I yelped to appease the punisher lurking 

In my dark dark room 
In the dark dark corner 
Is a dark dark shadow 

The dark dark shadow
In the corner of my dark dark room 
the darkness grew and grew 

The darkness filled my room
Nobody knew the dark dark shadow 
In the dark dark corner 
Of my dark dark room 
Only you.
