SILHOUETTE

SILHOUETTE

Roger A. Davis

Light, object, beholder’s eye
Beauty causes a pleasurable sigh
Whether a dead tree
Or a lighthouse, background: the sea

Best times are dusk and dawn
Looking up, spot a doe and a fawn
On my lampshade are wind mills
Giving me daily thrills

You are thinking of your favorite scenes
Even if they are from movies on theater screens
Childhood hand images of rabbit and snake
Shadow shows, what were you able to make?

Medical use of X-rays
Spotlight for Broadway plays
The list is long for many a silhouette
