J-B’s Sensational Haiku Wednesday!
Greetings, Haiku aficionados! We turn to this week’s theme of “shadow”, and see what images we can conjure up . . . . .
What is so eerie
about shadows in darkness?
Fear of the unseen!
Late in the day the
setting sun casts long shadows.
Make shadow puppets!
Dogs are called “Shadow”.
Maybe horses too. Not cats!
What’s in that name? Why?
Outrun your shadow?
Never! It’s always with you!
Might as well be friends . . . . . !
Have come to see that
life in another’s shadow
is no way to live.
Look at your shadow:
and do you like what you see?
How’d others see you?
So what has happened?
Shadow of my former self;
fresh awakening . . . .
Hope you can reflect on some of these with both some contemplation and some mirth. Have a great week everyone. Off-line for a few weeks myself now, but back with you all later in May. Be well, and care for those who matter to you; including you! Cheers, j-b.

Agreed – existing in someone else’s shadow is no way to live. You cast a pretty great one yourself, and I’m glad you realize it (most of the time).
The last one has had me wondering for a while… shadows at play.
Funny thing about friends who love you to extremes… always here to listen, support, and understand. Without judgement, and always in confidence. Goes both ways… something to keep in mind.
Great ones – very thought provoking.
