Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge which was started by our star writer Christine Ray. We hope to offer all of you something that will spark your creativity and willingness to participate.
The prompts are designed to be quick challenges that can be written in 10 to 15minutes, inspire you creatively, are fun, and get everyone interacting. Please post your response to the prompt in the comments below and show your fellow posters some love and support. All members of the Go Dog Go community, including Baristas, are welcome to participate. Feel free to share this post on your own blogs and/or Facebook.
Today’s prompt: Use the phrase or theme “shadows of our past” in any form of writing

Here is mine:
As the sun begins to set,
the shadows of our past
stretch out before us
menacing and comforting
at the same time
and then we close our eyes
one final time.

Thanks for the prompt.
Haunting
Everything feels new
fresh
refreshed
like a meadow
blooming
after gentle rain.
I tell myself
that’s how I feel
refreshed by gentle rain
not battered by a storm.
Sometimes
I almost believe it,
believe that I’ve left the past behind,
our past with it’s sunshine and shadows.
I try to see the sun
but it’s so bright
I have to close my eyes
and that’s when the tears fall.
That’s when the shadows return
to haunt me.
I hope sometimes
they will be haunting you.

Hues of Shadows
Our past hangs in
Shadows follow us
Some are dark spirits
Happy times are white outlines
We smile

Thanks for the challenge! Here’s one from me:
Duel on the beach
breakdown spell-bound lost found
lighthouse on the edge of the world,
love lost sunrise red sky,
shadows of our past become torchlights.
claymore longsword thin foil
we break upon the shore in crashes,
hard steel for real feel, peel,
sunset beating strong like sharp-edged slashes.
