Another good one, Laura. I didn’t guess it, either.
I want to let you know that I found that book you recommended — When Riddles Come Rumbling.
Thank you for telling me about that one. It’s a great little book.
Thanks, Pat–Oh, I’m glad you found it. Rebecca is such a wonderful poet.

I like this one I have started writing some poems for some of my new pic
I stretch out tall
I shrink real small
my arms and lags
wavy at times
their is light all around
my shads of gray
I’m a day daytime ghost
quietly I follow behind you
I like that daytime ghost!
Wonderful!

This is great. I love anything to do with shadows, that “ground’s darkness” is a new thought! Thanks Laura!
Thanks, Linda:>)

I am a ghost of gray
quietly following you
through the light
