There she is.

"Shadow" Tanka 5/7/5/7/7 Challenge.

There right by my side
Following every move
Watching me closely
Silently hovering near
A grey dark glimpse of myself

Author's Note

A challenge amongst friends on writing a 5/7/5/7/7 Tonka with the word Shadow without actually using the word.

Ooh! I'm gonna have to look into tanka. Short, sweet and to the point, if not mentioning the point is the point.
This could be right up my cul de sac, as I do like sucksink....suksyn...brevity in poems!
Nicely captured.
