Poems by indira babbellapati : 595 / 723
shadow play
one after the other
the pretentions're
cast away like
ill-fitting clothes
clothes
pretentions
lie scattered
the walls of the night
are painted with
the two shadows
in a single colour

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
Shadows meet in night for a day's doom to glorify
Shadows meet and change their geospatial axis
Shadows run as silhouette in an inquisitive mind
Shadows are sigh and sensitive; so silent for a shadow's sake
Shadows undress in colours of man and a woman
Shadows hue collected makes the next morning look like a day
Shadows then separate to search for more in shores of ocean
where they met
before shadows become shell of an oyster with their colours
stigmatizing more shadows to come
In shadow's shannonical sarcasm
Melee and myriad shadows
to be one and only shadowed showdown
to be shadowy forever.
a postmodern sweet smell in this piece! excellent!

Interesting play on words. I like the association with clothes.
'night', 'painted'; 'shadows' 'colour',
ma'am, u've blended these immiscibles in a fantastic way to produce some delightful imagery and emotion.
