Notes About The Poem

Isolation isn't helped by virtual school - if anything, it's highlighted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Shadows

(3 Senryu verses)

The morning sun dawns
electric white on another 
day of lost promise.

The invitation
received, jump up! Respond like 
a paid performer.

The crisp, sharp shadows
hide a murderous magic 
called loneliness.

I hear what you're saying, I woke up in the same kind of mood this morning.
