Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday prompt #13
~
Shadows are fickle
Eccentric
Houdini
Personalities
~
Who would guess
A scarecrow
Matchstick
Waving
Saluting
Identity
Dumped
Flatly on
A busy road is
The humble
Alter ego of
A gum tree

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
