Shadow

the shadows know my every move
              imitating life as I live it
my shadow mocks my figure and never gives the true picture it's
              sometimes long and some times short
the shadow is my closest companion
                 closer than a loyal Rover
Shadow does not like cloudy days
                he stays at home and watches TV
The son and shadow have an agreement
                light in lines and reflected visuals leaves shadow a negative space.

may work on it.....

Very, Very Cute Doris. My shadow follows me everywhere. Sometimes though she is too shy to be seen. God Bless, JB

The presence of your shadow will never leave you, Doris. Indeed, it's a lifelong companion and I love the way you describe it as mocking your "figure." I'm with your Mom; the long thin shadows make me feel better. As for my sister, she just looks down on the rest of our family. It's sad, but she doesn't want to be a part of our lives and she's made that very clear. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Love, Carolyn

I like it when my shadow is long and thin..It is fine if she takes a day off and enjoys tv or a nap..Enjoyed the creativity..Mom...

I like this way of "reflecting" on shadows. A good exercise in poetry! the funnest line was that your shadow likes tv!
