The title of the poem is the one-syllable word, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line, both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title.

The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based around a life event contained within the triplet, which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).

The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains quote that defines the first word (title).

SHADOW

stalker
follower

Bound by unseen strings
Starkly bare in the sun
Waits my silent, constant friend.

“an invariable double”

--

HUG
embrace
encircle

Circles of comfort
A rope that no one fears
One seal that includes, not rejects

“bindings of love and affection”

--

EARTH
nature
scenery

In a cool green lush
I sit amidst tall trees
The beauty of natural peace

“feel the natural world and its flow”
