Shadow Cut Question Drum at Berry Landing
A shadow shape looks like a near path to Alice and a wide path to Callen. Haylee keeps both answers open. The route-like drum becomes a tap-tap instrument before the final three-part picture.
Rhyme
Berry landing held three near.
The shadow drum asked, “What is here?”
Alice said, “Near.” Callen said, “Wide.”
Haylee said, “Keep both sides.”
Pass the drum. Turn the view.
Ribbon meadow showed in blue.
“Near?” asked Alice. “Wide?” asked Crow.
“Both can help,” said Haylee low.
Tap went the map. Tap went the rim.
The picture drum became a rhythm.
At bridge alcove, once they stayed.
Three held pieces showed both ways.
Blue meant near. Gold meant wide.
Fold held room for both beside.
