Just a bench and its shadow
Stop by HEY HARRIET to see shadow shots by others.

Lament of the Lonely Bench
Nobody wants to sit on me,
Nobody cares at all, you see;
Nobody sings sweet songs to me—
I sit in the shade alone.
If I were bright and fiery red
Someone would come and lay his head
On my lap and make it his bed—
But here I sit all alone.
Zephyrs of spring, I long for you
To melt the snow and make things new
Bringing a honeybee or two,
So I won’t sit all alone.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Walking on Shadows

A man and his dog is a beautiful sight to me.
The dog kept barking at him until he threw a ball for the dog to chase.
Below is a close up of the two.

SAID DOG TO HIS MASTER
Said Dog to his master, “Please throw
A ball somewhere out in the snow.
I’ll chase it, I will,
As though it were kill,
And bring it back to you in tow.”

WALKING THEIR MAN
Three doggies are walking their man
As only three city dogs can;
They keep him in sight,
His leash not too tight—
A sensibly marvelous plan!

AN INVITATION
Empty benches in a row,
No one hurries to and fro;
Who will pause and take a rest?
Who will be the honored guest?
In the shadow of the tree
Benches beckon you and me:
"Rest your weary feet a while,
Let the shadows make you smile."
"Come, my friends," the benches say,
"It is almost end of the day
And the shadows lengthen fast,
Soon the darkness will be vast;
Haggard ones with weary feet,
You have pounded down the street;
Now we offer you a rest–
Sit on us, we are the best!"
