She is scared of her own shadow
She’s scared of her own shadow
yet she has to follow it around
but that dam tall silhouette doesn’t make any sound
She tries her very best to hide yet it’s always there by her side
even if she runs away there it is standing cockeyed
“Get lost!! Go away” she shouts to herself as her grey ghostly figuration hovers high on a shelf
“Why won’t you leave me alone” but there is no one around
“I am better on my own without you on the ground”
Of course her shadow doesn’t answer her coz her shadow cannot hear so she moans and groans to passerbys I fear
Eeh what a name she has got these days with the things she shouts and the rubbish she says
Surely she should know that shady profile is her own
with that bulbous body and yon thin cheekbone
Yes in the twilight of the night it is broader and bigger
Looking alot larger like a gravestone and it’s digger
Mind you the coat that she wears when she walks in the night is down to the floor
She is a frightful sight
So her shadow is enough to alarm anyoneÂ
It is mighty and mahoosiveÂ
Like a great garb on a nun
Beware of the woman who wanders the streets in the dark
Her shadow is as big as a great white shark
and she will be yelling and a bawling with her rude remark
but this befuddled bodies bite is worse than her bark
So if you see somebody screaming but there is nobody there
Just a large lady looking in a temper with her arms up in the air
Don’t hang around to help her coz it’s her own affair
and if she’s scared of her own shadowÂ
she won’t want you standing there

Creepy, and awesome, my friend!Â
I really enjoyed that! I like creepy things, and trying to understand demented minds(I think maybe it will bring some clarity to my own, crazy mind), and I thought that was great.Â
Wonderful write, my friend.Â

Obsequeous Interjection:

Note On Obsequeous Interjection:Â
I just realized that my interjections may seem semi-stalkery-like, but they're not! They're merely me following you guys around on here, observing your every moves, and commenting on them...nothing odd. LOL!Â
Sorry to seem stalk-y!Â
Love,Â
Stalks Z.Â

Are you rubbing your nomination in my face??!! Good, you deserve to. lol.Â
Once I thought I was nominated, but it said 'nauseating', about my poem, and I had read it wrong. Oh well.Â
Hey, maybe I'll post that challenge tomorrow. I haven't seen Marionette much, although I saw the wonderful Cheerie around, but it's probably almost time for you to hit the sack, so I'll shoot for tomorrow. There's a new prize, some hardly used dental floss(cinnamon flavor), so that will sweeten the pot. What time is it in NorthernUmberland? Do you have yaks there?Â
M.Â

wow wow wow!!!! what great poem
your masterpiece Â
AwwwThanks loads Greg haha I wasnt pleased with thisun ?❤️?❤️
Simply brilliant, creative, intriguing, enlightening and clever.Â
The ending gave me goosebumps, wait, I still have them! I saw this poem as a woman who sees herself as huge, as ghostly, as illusive, yet never steers too far away -- I think we often see ourselves as invisible at times until we raise a fuss. I am such a fan of your writing Jill. You can hear the beats of the rhyme with every poem you write. This poem is awesome! Congratulations on the nomination.Â
