My Shadow (Children)
I have a shadow hooked to me.
Sometimes he's big.
Sometimes he's small.

Another great poem, C.J. Reading your work makes me smile - the innocence conveyed through your words - makes me feel like a child again. Thank you for that.

CJ,
This is a perfectly lovely children's poem. I would have loved it when I was a child and the child in me still responds with joy to its rhythm, rhyme & the playfulness with which the idea/description is written. (10 from my inner child, smiling with remembrance!)
Hugh
These children poems have a comfort to them, perhaps we are all still children!
My shadow has got four legs. Wonderful, as always CJ
Love

CJ...very good. I liked the idea of having the shadow 'hooked' on. As I read more and more of these wonderful poems for children, I realize that I'm attracted as much to the voice in the poems as to the content and words, which are always clever and surprising.
this is really a very different way to express shadows...liked it...
regards,
ASHKA
I had a little shadow at work today.....this made me smile, CJ...oh the joys of working with little ones.
Love Sally X
I like this, it reminds me of my daughter!
