Collectively, I wish to thank Alan, Kornymofo, Norm, Tim and lorac for dropping by and adding a boost or a nudge.   

It is on the list to rework.

Don

Thanks Tim

for your continued interest.  I sincerely hope you don't go too deep as I already have reworked and am continuing to ponder improvement.

I most certainly am looking forward to your current input, which will be added to my consideration list.

Have a great day.

Don

Shadows Know 
 
Under foot our shadow lies from shoe 
to head where secret data store resides. 
As waves on placid pond ripple on cue awk meter here??
let’s ponder what our silent shadow shows. 
 
Does it know about the sunshine law 
to veil a dark concern in stoic shade? 
Does it hold its ground in spite of flaw 
of how averse we play a poker hand?   
 
How often things differ from what they seem, too many syllables/beats -- "things differ" throws it off, I think
like starlight sparkle caused by earthen air, 
and gleam in gold is panned from stream of dream, 
or bunny losing race to tortoise shell. 
 
Its wiggle squiggle fun for us to watch, squiggles --- or "wiggles swuiggle"
but shadow surge to shrink a sound delusion 
for shadow shape remains a constant swatch 
of us who mutate form to match conclusion. 

This was a fine read and I like the metered form you chose to express this.

Norm

Dear Don,

Interesting point of view.

You title reminds me of an old Coasters song - the Shadow Knows ! (which is followed by a maniacle laugh)

Love
Alan
