Poems to Express: Shadow
Shadow Verdant lushly green full of potential Moonglade silvery moonlight reflected in the ocean Apricity a moment of warm sun in wintertime Petrichor nostalgic earthy smell of the falling rain Sylvan the poetic calmness of forests Shadow for everything we can see, there is a concealed counterpart.
Note of the author: This is a somewhat different poem, perhaps made for those familiar with Carl Jung. I’ve been meaning for a while to gather these specific yet beautiful words into a poem, since we don’t read them often enough. The idea of integrating all these nature concepts with "shadow", which can be both cast by a tree or by an entire universe within analytical psychology, simply felt right. I hope you felt something good reading it. :)

Gorgeous!
Good morning, Isabella. I was really impressed to see that poems can have layouts like this. And that last “shadow” part—I'm guessing it refers to what Jungian psychology calls the side of ourselves we don't want to look at, the part we push into the unconscious.
