Shifting Shadows sculpt ebony edges Inscribing boundaries of light and dark. Light contrasts with fragmented flowing forms, Highlighting converging differences. Out of chaos structure seemingly takes form, Utilizing rays of a setting sun. Etched upon the fringes of night and day, Trees merge with backgrounds of liquid black as Time pauses, almost standing still, while dusk Erases Twilight's sullied silhouette.

Emile, Imagery is fantastic! As an artist, painter, I like the first line very much. That's how I would start a painting. Sculpt the ebony edges. Congrats on POTD!

A well-constructed Crostic, Emile. Nice use of contrast and imagery. I especially enjoy the inclusion of alliteration using the letter "s" words on five occasions, in the ten lines. The triple, "fragmented flowing forms" was particularly nice. Congratulations on your POTD! It is certainly well deserved. Have an enjoyable weekend, Bill
