Excellent free verse Patterns : Shadows by estory

In the shadows, There is always someone watching us, There is always a shadow following us The shadows creeping slowly over the walls Covered with the shadows of people waiting In the shadows of the skyscrapers Overshadowing the commuters The shadows cast by the figures of statues Standing still in the shadows of the past Shadowing us, The shades of things to come The footsteps of the shadows following us Down the streets, under the shadows of the elevated trains, Underneath the shadows of the airplanes Dark shadows, night shades, Blinds, shadow boxes, sillouettes, Eye shadow, lampshades, solar eclipses The lengthening shadows in the darkness of the temples, The shadows of the gods Author Notes This is another poem, a bit minimalist in the interpretation of free verse, that uses forms of the word 'shadow', and various images associated with it, to create the color and music of language. It's a moody poem, a dark poem of those moments when we feel dogged by unresolved issues, past events. We have all felt those shadows following us, at one time or another. estory
