I like the personification of Sunlight and Shadow in this poem. The metaphor of dancing for the movement of shadow and sun is an apt one.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Very nicely done. I was thinking of how darkness and light will never be the same. Darkness flees when light appears. Your stanzas are strong and very good. Best to you in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

hi there,
I really like the poem. In a way it's almost too clever as we watch Sunlight, [who] does like to shine ~ And Shadow, she loves to follow his lead .... neat!

The glinting light among the trees has inspired this well written and rhymes write. Among the bright light and shadows a romantic view is pursued and enjoyed here, love Dolly x

A lovely poem on an interesting and vocative theme. It's common to say that opposites attract. Your highly original idea is that opposites support and enhance each other. Well done. Good Luck in the contest.

Excellent writing author. I would be prepared to bet anything that this will be the poem of the month next month. It is absolutely beautiful in everyway, every line:

"or pride of the trees that they trim"

Good luck with it : ) Bob

I'd never before thought of sunlight and shadow as being "married" until now, but I kinda like the concept lol! This is a really grand, beautifully worded poem about that marriage and also, I'm guessing, about balance too. Without dark, there is no light, etc. I very much enjoyed this! Good luck in the contest xoxox

I just love this stanza, it's like a quick introspect between day and night, a metaphor about life and death:

Yea, bound in nature, Sunlight and Shadow ~
darkness and light, forever true...
May their rhythm inspire and captivate
'til sunlight bids your shadow adieu.
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

You did an excellent job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. The presentation is exquisite. Your topic is unique and expertly interpreted. I enjoyed reading it. Your image and color scheme are perfect choices together. I like the personification of the sun and shadow. Your rhymes and meter are great, too. This read well aloud and is a winner!
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
