Carry On Tuesday #149 – “I have a little shadow”, the opening line from R.L.Stevenson’s My Shadow. And do you remember what a Triolet is?
***
I have a little shadow
It goes around with me
It makes me feel too hollow
I have a little shadow
It shudders like a sparrow
longing to be free
I have a little shadow
It goes around with me.
