This week let’s write a silhouette poem. The silhouette of someone or something could feature in the narrative or perhaps the we discover that which casts the shadow is not what was expected. Whatever’s revealed, post it in the comments below.

Here’s a Haiku I wrote in May 2022 …
Tomorrow’s Shadows
Shadows of today
Precede tomorrow’s darkest clouds
Silhouettes of doom

There is something peaceful.
Slightly mournful.
Perhaps delicate.
Definitely elegant.
A little off-putting.
Meekly cunning.
Ghostly?
A tad bit lonely.
A look that is becoming.
Most of all stunning.
A simple silhouette.
An image you will never forget.
