Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

Shadows On the Ground

Blue sky patches of white clouds
They are slowly drifting by
A Spring thaw brown patches
           of grass
Shadows are seen upon the ground

Different shapes and sizes seen
One looks like a huge dog
Another like a bird in flight
Then huge circles spread outwards

The shadows on the ground
A sunny day brings them out
They stay there all day long
Until the the sun begins to set
