Shadows portray innocence
as a child walks hand in hand
with a father to call his own
Sand twisting between toes
on a shadow cased memoir
within a child's journey

Beautiful write to the prompt. Strong imagery recalling childhood memories. Congrats on Silver.

Just the way you started this poem I could tell it was worth reading (your work always is though)
I loved this one for the fact that you related shadows portraying innocence because when most people think of shadows (just the word alone) they usually think dark or scary but this was quite the opposite.
Quite thought provoking this one is and I liked the way you wrote it.
Congrats on the Silver!

Thanks so much hun!
It was so easy to write
It spilled right out of my fingers.
It really is thought provoking.
Shadows aren't ALWAYS a dark and scary thing.
Eventually ... you find them comforting
when you think of them in a lighter way.
Much Luv 2 You My Friend!
