This is my little kiddie poem, i call it that cuz i can picture it on a childrens book with a picture of a shadow and like, some Kindergarden teacher reading it to the class. Anyway, don't be fooled by the "kiddie poem" description. The poem is deep. UHhhhh...... you should be able to grasp the concept, if not......ask me.

Shadow:

My shadow is my only friend
With his dark form of being.
He floats through the light of day
To find his true meaning.

Even though he's mute and deaf
I love him just the same.
He's the only trustworthy guy I know
And Shadow is his name.






I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Very well done Dopey! I enjoyed the sentiments in this ... sometimes we can trust only in ourselves. I enjoyed this very much.

Best wishes,

How exactly is this a kiddie poem??? I don't see a child understanding this at all... You again have a good poem, and I agree that sometimes all you can do is trust yourself...  Keep up the good work...

Hi yes well thanks to all of you. I so appreciate the compliments. The reason why i said it was a kiddie poem was because even though a kid would never comprehend it, it just sounds cute. LIke a little story piece. Ok so yea thanks!

  Hey dopey I think this really is a kiddie poem, this kiddie enjoyed it more than you will ever know. Indeed, my shadow is the only one I can trust.
