When Shadows Dance

A Poem by Whiskurz

I followed my shadow to see where he went
To see all the things he would see
I've often wondered how his day was spent
When he wasn't following me

We walked to a place in a crowded park
There were people everywhere
I sat down beside him on a empty bench
In the middle of a busy square

We waited for probably an hour or two
Then after a little while
Something by the fountain caught his eye
And that's when he started to smile

Another shadow came walking our way
A girl, as pretty as could be
I just couldn't help but notice her beauty
But she didn't notice me

That's when my shadow stretched forth his hand
And the two began to dance
I watched from my bench as the shadows kissed
'Til the air was filled with romance

They danced all day 'til the sun went down
And then went their separate ways
So needless to say, I follow my shadow
A little bit more these days

This poem is sweet and brings a smile to the reader. It's playful but not silly. I haven't read any poems about shadows before but i like this one very much!

I love the flow to this and it has a very sing song feel. Somehow heavy and light all at the same time. The rhyming is very well done. It's not obvious or strained.

I love it!!!!!!! This is really great!!!!! I love the idea of a man following his shadow instead of the other way around!!! And I love how the shadow has love, though the woman whose shadow your shadow loves doesn't notice... Its very interesting:) 100/100
