Congrats on fp OMA. Great piece. This deserves front page.

HizMissy:
Does it have to rhyme?

Nope

Bhenehdikt:
Texxie..watz up?

Not much. You were my only student till you left and there were none.

Kentrasso:
Pls how is this a haiku? The syllables are scattered.

The first one is 5-7-5

You are right about the other two.

Sometimes things get lost in translation. Also not all poets stay true to the old style. Other than that...I'm not sure.

Interesting link about ranga poetry.

Well it seems I was banned by the antispambot. Luckily Ishilove is on the job and saved me from his clutches. Thanks Ishi.

Everest can't make it tonight so I need everyone's help. We are going to talk about and hopefully do a Ranga.

I need some help with class tonight. Who's up for some word play?

If this is not a prose and you are using shadow figuratively then I have no problem with that because it could mean a lot of things to different folks. But, if you are questioning what shadow is literally then you need to read up on opaque and if that is not sufficient for your understanding of how shadow is cast you can use common sense to decipher that it is due to thick layer of wall the light cannot penetrate and it disperses through the sides taking the shape of the image to form the shadow. 'Darkness spreads its cloak, those shifty companion are no more ' part reveals the shadow is dark therefore cannot be seen in darkness.

This is merely playing on words or creative use of words to express a common phenomenon and how it relate to real-life idea is something I can not wrap my head over in this post though. This is much ado about nothing in a nutshell.

Thank you.

Some people strangle the life out of anything fun.

What Do Shadows Do When We're Not Looking?
by Tex

Where do shadows go? Do they slumber? Do they snore? They lengthen and stretch as the sun starts to sink. When lights have faded and all the world is sleeping, do they dream?

Do shadows talk to one another? Is there a secret code? Are they chatting away when we're not listening, or making faces when we're not watching?

If we could peek, would we find them snacking, or blowing rings while smoking cigars? Maybe they're slipping and sliding across waxed floors.

Yeah yeah, I know I know. When the light is gone there is no shadow cast. Once darkness spreads its cloak, those shifty companions are no more.
Of course they disappear, but are you sure?
