MY SHADOW by Robert Louis Stevenson
TIMELESS POETRY: One of my all-time (since a kid) favorites too… So much so, that I taught it to my students and incorporated it into a science lesson on light and shadows! LOVE THIS POST & MUST REBLOG. THANKS, Marilyn Armstrong! ~ Bette A. Stevens http://www.4writersandreaders.com

Me and my shadow … and my joyous happy-feet red Fit-Flop clogs. The poem has been one of my favorites since I was a very young child. The shoes are rather more recent, but favorites nonetheless.
