today I saw my shadow
it fell beneath my feet
the sun had gone down

At first read, I really didn't get the significance of this one... but alas, I never judge first read through and on this second go round it hit me like a ton of bricks slap in the middle of the face ( why I didn't see it the first time is beyond me). Quite the little powerhouse and not at all what I had expected that prompt to bring, but I love it when people think outside the box and surprise me with my own prompts. Well done poet!
P.S. - I would have preferred that [i] been capped but then I guess my rules allowed for poetic license in this contest... it just looks out of place in this otherwise outstanding write.
