This poem, Shadow Man, presented with five quatrains, creates and makes spooky this idea of a shadow creeping about when we give it the power in the sunlight.

A wonderful poem of the shadow man, Cecilia. Shadows imply mystery, danger and peril. My own shadow implies--I'm here. Dogs are more intuitive to it all, shadows and the substance. A fine offering in free verse.
Sending you my best today as always.
Sal :)) xoxo

    Thank you Sal. I wonder what they bark at sometimes? It's unnerving some days.

Dogs have a heightened sense of hearing and even just a bid rustling the leaves in trees will cause them to bark. They are good guard dogs really. The shadows of men or ghosts should not be feared, it is only really people who harm us. A poignant post Cecilia fear can cause us to feel terror at times, love Dolly x

    Dolly,

    Thank you for the kind review. Kratos loves to chase the rabbits, but he is at a disadvantage. Most of the time there is a fence between him and the rabbit. Yes, they have great hearing and sometimes I just don't what they bark at.

I really love the eerie feeling you've created with "Shadow Man." I was hooked by how you build the suspense with every line. Especially how you keep him lurking in the shadows. The warning to "watch your back" gave me chills! Great work! Your poem delivers that spooky, unsettling feel. Keep it up!
