[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Good poem.  I'm not usually a poetry buff, but I do like the occasional good one.

Why not?  Let's do that.  Here's one of mine.  Be sure to limit your contribution to one poem at a time!

This one was published in Slate and Style many years ago.


Where Shadows Meet
Lori Stayer

There are no sharp outlines
    where shadows meet
Only soft, dark corners.

Life's mystery lies here,
Simple truths, no longer clear.

Where dreams apply
and no one dares
    reveal the lie.

Illusion dominates my soul
nor does half truth unveil the whole.

But I go on, reject defeat,
my life, my work, i must complete
    where shadows meet.

                        Slate & Style, October 1987
