Here is my entry for the Poetry Dice Challenge 3000, Week 2.
The dice combo for this week includes:
- fire/flame
- house/home
- fish
- shadow/evil shadow
- mask/or alien face (can't tell)
- sad/worried face
- moon/crescent moon
- happy face
Here is my poem:
“Shadow School of Fishes”
Sitting by the campfire
Pondering some thoughts.
Realizing these flames
Are more than just hot.
They cast my shadow
Lengthwise, dancing like a plume.
But the fire doesn’t know me,
And neither does the moon.
The shadow moves around
Just the same as me.
But what emotion do I feel?
The shadow puppet cannot see.
I could be happy,
Sad, or mean,
Wearing a mask,
Or envy with green.
I travel this world
With a heart full of wishes,
Between home and the pyramids
With a shadow school of fishes.
