I was hiking with Anna the dog when I focused on an interesting event. A hawk flying over the tops of trees. Now hawks are cool, but the shadow was cooler. I imagined it on the tops of leaves and on the floor of the woods simultaneously, so the shadow was in multiple places at once. Here’ s the WIP version of the poem:

Bird shadows on the tops of trees 
Skimming over leaves 
Splitting onto each leaf.

I see the underside of the shadow
through the translucent leaves.
Shadows like skipping stones
Bounce to the ground
Glide and leap 
Back up to the leaves

I have a few other ideas: Wave in the wind/ Play on the surfaces/ Flying on multiple dimensions

I’m going to continue to play with this one. I’m a little poetry rusty since I’ve been focused on my stories lately.
