Sta.sh
In the rain you stood a shivering cast,
Weathering storms as would Atlas
On retreat. Many muses hole you fast,
But you strum their words on thread, tactless.
Apollo never rode his carriage
On the brink of midnight. You tried to,
Speaking like Ares about love and marriage.
I laughed then--you would fly through.
Did Orpheus brave the depths of Hell?
I thought it might have been you in black.
Trying charm with satyrs' songs, well,
They say to follow, never look back.
But in my own mythology, you--
Never god or king, but twice as true

and the picture is amazing

with more solid objects, like the pillars in this peice, the corona (bright outline) should be sharp and thin. On more organic objects, and especially not completely solid objects, the outline is more smooth and much thicker, as it fades in. However, any place where the corona cuts to shadow, the cut should be sharp. However, the shades of the coronas, no matter what object, will always start at the same and end with the same.
And how do I know all of this? I stare at lights and dissect their effects on objects too often for my own good... >.>
Nontheless, the piece and poem are gorgeous. Keep it up!
