The Rose And The Shadow Poem by Rani Turton
The Rose And The Shadow
The rose spoke to the shadow:
'But why do you follow me? '
The shadow replied, 'Never have I seen
A beauty to rival with thee.'
.
The rose blushed in confusion
And didn't know what to say
The shadow, courteously said:
'Let me stay near you if I may'.
.
'It is only by your substance
That I may take form
Your very existence enables me
To exist and perform.'
.
The rose and the shadow thus
Became the closest of friends
From sunrise to sunset
The shadow the rose defends.
.

This poem reminds of one Jean de la Fontaine's poems, however, the ending, the after-taste, the conclusion did not taste like a 'creme brulee'. Since you live in France, please read: Le lievre et la tortue. GL
