Snippets Shadow Challange #2

Humanity's Funeral

Stained shadows slipping into smoke
Wrought-iron cities, my dimension

Black snow above rusted gardens
Humanity's funeral, wanders alone

Passing churned pavement, grim roses
Frosted grey with ash...

For the snippets shadow challange. August 2009

Remarkable penning, Kerry. Your content profoundly underscores your choice of title, and is power packed with thought-provoking symbolism. I am extremely impressed with your writing ability and poetic style.

I know funerals are generally sad, but this is SAD!

Hi Ruthi:)

I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond, I'm a mess.

A vague feeling of sadness is what I get when I think of shadows.
I wonder if I should seek counsuling for it...

Thanks so much for stopping by:)

Awwww, but you can't have shadows without light, so it's there somewhere.

Ruthi C. Nov 13, 2009, 10:28am EST

Well stated Lee!
