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

I began to observe clouds and shadows as a boy on days when I had nothing to do. I've posted my own poem on shadows. Look it up if you like. Again, thank you for reading my work. / M
