Shadow guard


 Shadow Guard

JohnClare Stokes


Told my shadow

I am going swimming

If I do not surface

You are on your own

After about two minutes

He began worrying

Coaxing me to surface

After three minutes

He was in a panic

But all he could do

Was watch as I stayed

Beneath

Refusing to join me

Choosing rather the

Coming evening 

Night to take him.
