Sleeping Shadow

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

(Poetry Prompt #8 challenge.)

I look down
To find you are not there
My constant companion
The light too week to feed
Causing you to blip
In and out of sight
You will be reborn
Once my work is done
And I step into the sun
Casting you from my soles

'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    Well done, and darn quick too! I wish I could hammer out a poem that fast.

      Shadows were always a favorite subject of mine and I just happened to hit refresh on my reader and the new prompt showed up. It helped that the poetic form was optional/open. I’ve been hankering for a free verse today.
