Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to I RUN YOU RUN , I WALK YOU WALK , I STOP YOU STOP

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>What a lovely idea to bring your "shadow" to life and give it real and meaningful qualities.  May I make a couple off suggestions as pertains to English grammar. </p>
<p>"Sometimes you're forward to me" should be, "sometimes you're ahead of me…" and</p>
<p>"What not you do" should be "what don't you do…"</p>
<p>I am very happy to consider your poem for Featured Poem of the Month for December.  If it is chosen, I would request that the corrections to the grammar be applied to the poem.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for submitting your work and thank you for being a fellow poet,</p>
<p>Susan</p>

I RUN YOU RUN , I WALK YOU WALK , I STOP YOU STOP

<p>Sometimes you're forward to me ,</p>
<p>Sometimes just behind my back.</p>
<p>You are a giant sometimes</p>
<p>Another a time , a tiny tot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh! When I run , you run</p>
<p> I stop you stop , </p>
<p>When I walk , you walk.</p>
<p> I feel as if you're a copy cat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh my Shadow!!</p>
<p>What not you do </p>
<p>Just to Be with me</p>
<p>Sometimes this , sometimes that</p>
<p>a colourless life you lead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No matter how hard I try to be ,</p>
<p>But can never be as selfless as you.</p>
<p>Hey my lovely Shadow!</p>
<p>I really adore you.</p>
