Me and Shadow

[zoolane]

Me and my Shadow.

I get up slowly to go to the kitchen.
As I leave room.
I turn to see.
If I left anything behind me.

Answer no but little voice.
Start to called my name, over and over.
I look round to see who in is.
No one is here.

But yet voice still calling.
As I wonder round the house.
I get feeling.
That their someone in my house to.

Watching me and retrace my steps.
Suddenly their glimpse for shadow in doorway.
I turn to see what it is.
Boo said my six year ago daughter.

I don't know why Zoolane but the grammatical errors in this piece reflect well of how little the voice is when writing about one's own shadow.

I like it.

A simple little poem - with a charming, surprise ending.

Thank you for your comments Hillwalker and Delta40, I love her dear but she driving insane following be round house.

I have being readed other people poetry but either can not interpret poem property or not sure whether I should said my interpretation.

[hillwalker]

It's not important how you interpret them - or whether you interpret them the same as the writer, or other readers. The chances are you won't see them the same way as someone else anyway.

Just read them to enjoy how particular words sound when written together - to discover a new way someone has found to describe something - or to explore new thoughts or pictures the poem might have put into your head.

The more we read of other people's poems the more we learn about new ways of thinking and expressing ourselves.
