Casting Shadows

Casting Shadows
(A Lisalet Poem) I delight in sunlight casting shadows, On a warm sunny summer afternoon. It's amazing, when that golden orb glows, Then hard objects get their images strewn. On a warm sunny summer afternoon, I love to sit and watch the dark sideshows On the ground that such sights festoon. I delight in sunlight casting shadows. It's amazing, when that golden orb glows, All the shapes and images that get hewn. 'Cause Earth's a canvas where the sun's ray goes On a warm sunny summer afternoon. Then hard objects get their images strewn In fragile formats that the light bestows. Watchers don't want the scene to end too soon. It's amazing, when that golden orb glows. On a warm sunny summer afternoon, I delight in sunlight casting shadows. |

Sidewalk shadows of tables and grass on a sunny day. I just liked the image. Especially the table legs. This picture inspired the poem.
This poem is a Lisalet.
Lisalet Poem: a style created by Lisa Sherman on FanStory, that has a fixed format of repeating lines and, when rhymed, a forced set of only two rhyme choices in an abab rhyme scheme.
The format repeats the first four lines in a structured reverse cascade down the stanzas follows: 1/2/3/4 2/5/6/1 3/7/8/2 4/9/10/3, such that the stanzas incorporate the repeating lines as 1/2 2/1 3/2 4/3 (I added also a closing 2/1) as the first and last lines of each stanza. The optional rhyme scheme becomes A1,B1,A2,B2 B1,a,b,A1 A2,b,a,B2 B2,a,b,A2. The capitals represent the repeated lines. I hope that all makes sense.
I chose the syllable count to be 10, but that is not a requirement. I also added a closing couplet using B1,A1, but that is not a requirement either.
