Shadow

Dark, insubstantial
wisp stalks me at every turn;
bonded forever.

A great haiku John. Our shadow lives our life with us - such a great observation! Excellent and enjoyed!

Thanks for the great comments, Susan. I'm appreciative of you delving into some of my "back catalogue"... I hope they are offering some enjoyment! Regards, John.

You describe a shadow as it truly is, John. I find there are two things I can't run away from: my shadow and my conscience! Regards // paul

Thanks for your comments, Paul. I agree - a conscience is not something you can (or should) try to run from! All the best, John.

Hello John. You have captured the essence of the shadow. The format is in true form count voice and tone. Well done

its true that we cannot run away from our own shadow, can't even hide from it. Wonderful poem. Great pen.

Thanks for the nice comments... you're so right - we can run, we can hide, but at the end of the day there's no escaping ourselves!!
