Haiku On Shadow Poem by Subbaraman N V

Haiku On Shadow



SHADOW

1
Shadow fighting bad
Challenges to be met bold
The world drives us mad!
2
Morning shadow tall
As a good friendship should be
Nature teaches all!
3
Evening shadow shrinks
As a friendship poor drops out
Nature at its brink!
4
Shadow is not real
Though the world takes it to be
Illusion unreal!
5
Real is real, shadow, shadow
Shadow can be defective
Huge- some mirrors show!
6
Shadows induce fear
Confuse not with the real
Real gives courage!
7
Life is a challenge
When real and shadow merge
Mind accepts challenge!
Sun rays absorbs dew
Life has sure its hue!
8
No shadow sans real
But shadow misrepresents
Go after the real!
9
Depending on light
Real and shadow change their place
Yet real is real bright!
10
Shadow of the wall
Easy one to climb and cross
Real can cause a fall!
11
We live in shadow
Ignoring reality
Blind to Nature’s glow!
