For SHADOWSHOT SUNDAY
FAIRY FALLACY
The rumble of the city, the concrete and the tar,
The chatter of the passers-by, the roar of coach and car.
Yet something straight from Fairyland is there before our eyes.
Surely fairy castles seem to rise.

It could be just the railway station roofs just to my right,
But fairies live in shadow-land, usually out of sight.
Place flags upon the turrets, let elfin trumpets sound!
The Fairyland of childhood has been found!

(Unfortunately, it's about to be shattered by a car!
Oh well! Just put up with it! You know what humans are!)

Terrific shadows and I love your poem, as always!
Rhymes are always nice to read and listen.

Love both the shadow and poem. A charming idea.
Super shadows and your poem as always was a pleasure to read! Happy Sunday :)
Nice poem. Those shadows are so sharp and clear they really are like a kingdom of their own. Lovely.
The shadow shot is a captured moment, count your blessings!
