SHADOWS

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

market day
at sunrise long shadows
fill the empty stalls

spring sunshine
the kitten and her shadow
lie down together

summer afternoon
the weather cock's shadow
on the hen house roof

late evening sunlight
the shadow of the boathouse
crosses the canal

shadows lengthening
the colours of day
fade into dusk
