Black and White

A plane tree
peels
black and white
A hole in the morning
eclipse
black and white
A photographer shutters
contrasts
black and white
A cavalry knight
seizes
black and white
A bird upon the ice
frozen
black and white
Melanin under skin
pigments
black and white
A gown held by a tux
dances
black and white
Staring through the night
pupils
black and white
A jigsaw puzzle
pieces
black and white
Answers to a child
questioning
black and white.

Submitted as part of “National Poetry Writing Month – 2017” (#NaPoWriMo2017).  Today’s prompt: write a poem that relies on repetition. It can be repetition of a phrase, or just a word.
