OctPoWriMo Day 12 prompt: Shadows

Today's prompt is to write a poem about our shadow side. I almost didn't write a poem today, as I'm sick with a flu bug. But then it came to me unexpectedly fast after reading the prompt. Sometimes the muse (or my shadow??) won't be denied.

~~~

 My Precious Shadow

My shadow,
precious shadow!

Keeping me close
and comfortable. So,
so comfortable.

Soothing and petting,
whispered words, sweet
candy oozing from
a sharp-toothed
smile.

Precious shadow
holds me when I beat
my wings and try to fly,
holds me back.

Have another
candy. There's plenty
of time for flying.

Right?

    Halloween, and bats go thought my head as I read this. But I know the feeling can't just eat one piece of candy, need more...more lol

      Thanks! In the past couple of days I've written some poetry that's been somewhat macabre. Perhaps I am gearing up for Halloween!
