How well put, I loved this poem. The third verse was beautiful, my favorite stanza. In the final verse, the line

the hollow twin grafted like a stone

echoed in my eyes. I read this poem several times, to soak it in. Thank you, IP.

Yes, that is a really good poem Pensero. I've seen a lot of poems about one's shadow and they all tend to drift to unoriginality. This one has interesting phrasing and some profound insight.

I read this a couple of times. Physically I think you were talking about your shadow reflected by various light sources. By way of metaphor I thought you might be wondering what your life could be/should be but for the limitations that beset us. Just wondering mind you.

I was just searching for my John Keats poems to quote some lines to reveal how awful he reads next to yours (not always, he is, after all, John Keats) A style writ in water all your own. When I put together my poetry E-magazine I want to solicit this from you if I may.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked the poem. It was written way back when for the picture poetry contest (it didn't win, damn Riesa and her harsh judging ). What I had in mind was how one's shadow is sort of an icon for one's eventual death. and jon, I would be entirely enthused if you got together a poetry e-zine and solicited my work .
