Dudette, you'll never be used up no matter how much of yourself you pour out! Such is the strength of your spirit. A terrific little write; how did it slip past me? ! Esther : ]

Great little poem, made me smile, especially the last stanza. Was it Peter Pan who was always having troubles with his shadow? Ha, your secret identity is revealed! -chuck

Staying ahead of your shadow, standing out not blending in, allowing light to enhance you, behold, you'll always win! Scarlett, your poetic voice came through loud and clear, a powerful and eloquent piece. Justine

This is great Scarlett. A lovely poem about your shadow, which we all tend to forget we've got, even when the sun comes out. I love your explanation here. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
