Aye! A cast of shadows thick I tell you!

Two shadows talking!

While a small shadow speaks,

the congregation

of shadows gather,

a black mass rising.

Hi! Fancy meeting you here!

What have you been up too?

Oh! Nothing dramatic!

Just following as per the norm.

Could be worse!

Imagine, if you were a sheep's shadow!

Sheep following each other blindly,

and then you, following the sheep.

No thanks! I perish the thought!

So you're still tagged to the courier driver then?

Yep! Same old same old! 

Running, walking, stopping, jumping,

around black city landscapes, moving cars,

dodging city lights, you know!

And You?

Oh I'm going to be cast

in a new movie Excalibur.

My owner gets, stabbed, sliced,

burnt at the stake, but I'll be fine,

I'm cast on the ground.

Not again?

Yes! I have very few lines

all depending on the sun

but like you

I do cover some ground.

Well, nice to see you!

You look good dressed in black.

You too! I like your dark grey, suits you!

 Thanks! Good luck!

 Bye!

This is bizarre, but interesting. Who would have thought of two shadows having a conversation?
I enjoy your "warped sense of humour." Sometimes things are just what they are...things. Don't bother trying to analyze or make sense out of them, they are what they are, two shadows having a friendly conversation.
Genius, if you ask me.

Exactly just that two shadows conversing. Thank you so much for your review on a fictional story .

[emmajoy]

Seems a private chat between self and self.. trying to decide which path to travel! Perhaps indecision or an instinct that tells a being to hide, stay in the shadows rather than make for the spotlight? Might have to read again, decide or .. change my mind, such as it is, andrew!

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Emma, just dialogue between two shadows, just my warped sense of humour a bit like Monty Python. They are the forgotten ones, and I do like shadows funny enough. Hope you are well and thank you for your visit and comments.

I once read that, shadows are the giants of man/woman-made presence. Still working out the logic of it but - think it probably creates more than instant thought gives!

"My owner gets, stabbed, sliced,
burnt at the stake, but I'll be fine,

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Stella, what a wonderful compliment.😀

[Ken Simm.]

Don't we all. And then meet in whatever hell of grey we conjour up. Perceptive and very witty Andrew. Some of their word these shadow perhaps.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Ken for your words and praise. Cheers.

[Paul Bell]

These are the sort of shadows I meet going down the road to obscurity.
They all have stories to tell. But you always know they've got your back.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Paul and yes they do have your back lol.

[Michael Oliver]

I like the ambiguity of this poems sometimes an internal dialogue some times a quick conversation in passing. Every day colloquial and yet by the juxtapositions building a poem of events. Cool

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Michael for reviewing and for liking my scribbles.
