chasing shadows

Today I am chasing shadows.
Pretty shadows.
Shadows that make me smile unexpectedly and sigh with delight.

Here are some I caught earlier.

A sneaky little shadow, she was lurking on the blind,
But my, she was a pretty little find.

A little bit scary, this shadow is definitely a he,
It was playing a trick and snuck up on me!

Like a dancing stick-insect this shadow was leggy and lean,
She twisted and twirled 'til she knew that I'd seen.

Bold zebra stripes, this shadow said boo!
I could not have missed him, he was under my shoe!
