Comment from Dean Kuch

Excellent

I must honestly say, I've never thought much about loving my own shadow. And while I am enamored with nature's sources of light which provides my shadow (the moon a bit more, obviously), I rarely pay attention to it myself. Unless, of course, I'm completely alone under a full moon and two shadows appear. Now that, I would love!

Best of luck to you in the contest. ~Dean

Thanks, Dean. Just looking for something outside the box

Well, I happen to enjoy "outside the box" writing, DALLAS. That's probably why I enjoyed this. :)

good luck in the contest

you follow the contest prompt
syllable count spot on

your few words portray well how you and your shadow will always be together till the end

good visual
good use alliteration in
cleavers, cleave
me, my
good enjambment to allow flow through of sentence

great, and I mean Tony the Tiger Grrreat, play on " me and my shadow". beneath nights cover we cleave a perfect transition from first to third line. I take this as both a couple and as you and your shadow.

terrific pairing of artwork and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 structure
good alliteration in cover/cleave
you create a lovely visual with a delightfully upbeat tone
great reveal in your closing line with a good reference to that old standard, me and my shadow :-) Brooke

Thanks, Brooke. I searched far and wide for that artwork.

Very well composed, author. I like the yin and yang, or the duality of the poem. You've met the contest requirements, I hope, to tell you the truth I didn't look, but from what I can see you have.

Very lovely indeed. Your layout really enhances the love.

Very sensual. Sounds so romantic, and to think it's only about your shadow. I like a poem that has a great twist to it. With 17 syllables you did more than most could. Wonderfully written. Les
