Shadow Dancing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning comes, bringing lemon drop sun rays

Shadows cast upon the dewy ground

Effervescent birds swiftly fly, dropping down ever so often to meet their mate

Wings brush aginst wings crafting a

shadow dance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red, yellow and orange leaves dangle from branches,

swaying in the breeze

Transpires a beautiful shadow dance as each leaf

falls delicately in the wind

Imbued joy fills the scenery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flowers lift their blossoms

Petals open to greet the world

Join in on the inauguration of a new day

Impetuous shadows dance display a stunning show

Wooing of pleasure come from nature sounds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Butterflies gracefully glide,

take their turn in the spot light

Figures entwine,

triumphantly forming immense shadows of dancing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People awaken

Step out into the day light

Tranquillity washes over them at the beautiful sight

Feet tap as they to do the shadow dance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sun slowly descends

Darkness draws the curtains on the stage

Tapestry of shadows slowly disappear

Slumber calls an end to another day,

until the sun rises to light up the stage once again

Beautiful work. I love the imagery you have painted with your words. Well done.

[InkSlinger]

As always your imagery is fantastic.. sometimes less is more, in this case I would have used fewer images, as the words alone sold this piece perfectly.. overall, very will written..

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Really nice imagery!

[Dream Weaver]

Kathy, beautifully written, but I must agree S.B. on this,
too many pics seem to strangle the writing here.
Otherwise then that an awesome piece...

I really liked th poem but the pictures through me off i thinnk it would be better without just a suggestion i still love it tho :p

[Doug Ordunio]

Nice expressions. Might want to be careful where you have a plural adjective that modifies a singular object--just a minot thing.
