The Shadows On The Wall

In the  shining sun
Many shadows seen
In the early morn
I  see the shadows
That the sun shows

A shape of a head
Is wearing a hat
Or I see her face
Sometimes a dog
A  shape of a house

What is seen often
A shadow of a person
Also animals
Shapes of different trees
The shapes change often

Early in the morning and late in the evening, we see many shadows. They shapeshift into different forms. Seeing some shadows, we even get a scare. A beautiful poem, dear Darlene.

Hmm, shadows seem like they might be fun to watch, like clouds, or like flames, or water fountains.

Hello David Crandall, Shadows are fun to watch. sometimes it could be a shadow of an object in a room. Or a shadow seen but unknown where it is coming from. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/.
