My shadow wears
messed up shorts
paint splattered T-shirt
Mis-matching socks.
and she knows
the order of things
her hair is like
the Ocean, wavy and unpredictable
My shadow is a foggy cloud
that stumbles upon beside me
dark but light,
Misty and mysterious


The author's comments:
I think that we all have a shadow that is like our mask. Something that is inside us, but not shown. Or maybe it is only shown at a certain time.
Example: we may dress differently to different people. But when you are alone and just being yourself, you may wear things you don't in public. Or act differently.

As far as I know, it's all about submitting work as much as you can.  Mostly because everyone has an even chance. (I think grammar and spelling have something to do with it too though.)  So the more you submit, the better of a chance you have to get picked for the mag.

Thanks so much too and good luck!!! :)
