Welcome to the shadows; Here on the edge of reality we find fantasy, romance, trajedy, and even comedy. If we pay attention to what grows in the shadows of reality, we may learn what is real, and maybe even learn to understand. There is much to be learned from our darker sides. Look into the shadows and you are sure to discover things you never thought you'd see. Here in the "From the Shadows" segment we will show the best poetry we can find each month. I will take feedback as to what all you readers think is the best of the peices we show each month. I will cut the competition down to 5 peices each month, and hopefully I will not even have to put any of my own stuff in this segment after a few months. But to start with you will be hit by a deluge of my work. I picked what I though was my best peice for this months Prose of the month, and included five other peices as contenders for next months mag. If you have any good peices, please send them to me, and I will include them in the competitors for the month after next. I will need them by the end of october so I can put them in next month's mag. Well here we go, I hope you enjoy all of these peices.
