[Untitled (Landscape with Butterflies), c.1956by Dali at Wikipaintings]
WE THREE MAY BE SHADOWS
When i take out the garbage in the night
My shadow and i become three pass by
Then three again in a returning sight
Why are we three you may ask of me why
Tis because of two night lights beamed next door
My two shadows and me play at dramas
It's time for my bath when i've done this chore
I snuggle into comfy pajamas
Where are those shadows they've both run away
When did they run off can you tell me when
Is it because i didn't asked them to stay
They are going to make me lose my zen
Morning sun comes and nighttime moon follows
Chores to be done within all these hours

This is wonderful Gillena. Excellent write. You and I both swerved away from the full shadow sonnet thing. And HAPPY 72nd BIRTHDAY my friend! 😀🎂🎉🥂. In 7 days, on the 18th, I turn 75. My son just turned 44 last Sunday, the 6th. Guess some pretty special folk born in February 😉👍🏼. You have a great birthday, ✌🏼❤️
