Not Quite Dawn, 2020
Pearl Pirie
Commentary: The vertical shape of this two-same-word ("candlelight") haiku not only effectively enhances its visually suggestive power but also highlights the symbolic significance of its thematic focus -- "light," which appears twice. This is a fine example of using a calligram.
FYI: Calligram is a word or piece of text in which the design and layout of the letters creates a visual image related to the meaning of the words themselves.
