Hasalsedows (a Shadowy Tale)

 









Hasalsedow is lurking 

On shady sides of well-lit roads

A shadow moocher with a shifty hook

Filling shadow bags with loads

Attuned to shirking silhouettes

Who writhe to keep the pace

Hasalsedows hook shadows up

To slink away without a trace

Hasalsedows at dawn break meet

On the gloomy side of light

Stacking shadow-boxes stuffed

Preventing shadows taking flight

You may think the shadow's shaky 

Counted out and in a pack

But shadows slink through tiny chinks

Unrolling home, they soon get back


My made-up word 'HAS AL SEDOWS' (anagram) is Shadowless
