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.
