The Dreamer's Shadow

My shadow wears clean underwear a freshly cleaned frock and shoes that are smart and it knows the order of things its hair is like black spools of raw silk my shadow is a dreamer dancing, prancing and dreaming of things above ground and under the sun and follows me ‘til the day is done. Comments: Never be afraid of your shadow :-)

This is a wonderful write of something we take for granted - you have written a reflection of yourself in describing the shadow's personality!

A very pictureque and cute write that makes on smile. I remember playing with my shadow---I should probably pay more attention now. You inspired me, lol. Regards, Sara:)

I had to chuckle at your second line. Nice use of imagery. Though presented in a light fashion, there is a lot to think about in this poem. Nice parting comment. Thank you for your kind words regarding my poem. Keep on writing! Have a nice day. Karen

Thats right - While I was in prison I wrote a lot of poems about the shadow dancers that live in the halls - nothing to fear - God Bless
