Silhouette. What determines the silhouette of a poem?

Form?
Sound?
Line breaks?
Repetition and/or call and response?

Is a silhouette how a poem appears on the page? How a poem sounds in the ear? Or how the poem tastes in the mouth? Perhaps, when the constellations align -- all these.


Of the food taken tonight. The lacquer bowl held jasmine rice steeped in green tea, steamed skinny green beans, and wild salmon marinated with soy/wasabi & fresh ginger and then pan fried.
And when the lid removed from the lacquer bowl, silhouettes aplenty and non in opposition.

Same could be said of the tastes herein.

  1. walk through, again,
    the dusk with her
    in mind

    not that long ago
    a talk about the day
    before

    what doesn't and when
    as the brighter blue
    goes down
