My Shadow

Lifeless Miracles

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Silhouettes dance in the stillness, mirroring

Illusions of motion in the moonlight

Lifelike shapes twirl and sway

Effortlessly

Never making a sound

Carefree shadows

Emitting life, without breath

    Oooo! So good! Love the shadow and silence union captured in this

    What a perfect description of a shadow. Me and grandnephew walk around sometimes, and he notices every shadow there is from us to the light pole to a tree. He's three and a half.

  • This was so wonderful! Loved your Acrostic!

    Mysterious and captivating! Depicts shadows in a whole new light (so to speak).

    I enjoyed it, but I think it could have been even more enjoyable if it had been a bit more concise. Just a friendly suggestion! Keep up the great work! ✨
