My Shadow Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

My Shadow

Rating: 4.5


Today I tried.
Again and again.
To jump over my own shadow.
Each time I jumped
it moved first.

So, I tried leaping.
But my shadow only
leaped ahead of me.
And now we were
doing long jumps.

But it was the headway
that remained
completely
out of reach.
Bugger.
