Benign Darkness
written by: Robyn MacKinnon
non-life-threatening
darkness. The observer. You
into the shadows
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Illustration description: A dark, cavernous background, vines or roots visible on the left side. The scene is shot through with texture reminiscent of an old photo. All except for the central figure. Almost completely pure white, no details of clothing or other characteristics evident, except for short, dark hair. This, and the other shadowy parts of the body are more defined by the fact areas around them, completely part of the shadowy background. The haiku sits top and center, itself in stark white Segoe Script Bold font.
I am mostly a visual artist, but I like to create "found poetry", specifically daily haiku made from the statuses of my Facebook friends. It was my Mom who started this, and officially passed the responsibility onto me when she became too busy.
