How do I make this shadow look smoother or blurred, not straight?

RTFM. Look up "area_light".

Tony, such a modeling job deserves better attitude than just RTFM the
original poster. Besides, the POV-Ray Manual is not officially
distributed in Rich Text Format :)

Well, I looked on the POV Language Help docs and I found some reference, but
where can I get this RTF manual?

You're right. I was a too coarse. I was in a hurry. Good work, Renato!

Tony was just referring you to the POV-Ray Scene Help. RTFM = read the fine
manual (unless you want the vulgar definition).
light_source {0,1
area_light x*3,y*3,3,3 jitter adaptive 1
translate -100*z
rotate <45,45,0>
}
This would create soft-edged shadows from the area light facing directly
toward <0,0,0>.
This light comes from a square on the z plane which is then moved and
rotated into place to keep the plane facing the origin.
jitter prevents shadow banding and adaptive helps smooth it.
Reading the help file tells the basics, using the features helps to
understand it :-)

I guess I'll have to learn what all these abbrevitatures mean.
Anyway, thanks for the help Bob.

Welcome to it. Would take all the fun out of guessing if you knew every
acronym, but here's a place to look them up if you didn't like the guessing:
