too big—spread soft and hazy
with thinking, no edge

That shadow–I should treat it with more respect! Maybe give it a few more words than a haiku…

I made the mistake of jumping into the poem without really looking at the title. Good, but so much better when read as a whole. Love the way you are working with the challenge prompts.

I love the way you combine challenges to create an image which is both visual and also something I connect with at a more feeling, intuitive level.
