08 April 2023: Roger Zelazny Poetry Month: Kenning Poetry about Jack of Shadows

Prompt: Write Kenning Poetry about Jack of Shadows from Roger Zelazny's book of the same name.


Jack of Shadows, the master of night,

Shadow-stalker, shrouded in starlight,

Twilight-thief, thief of the unseen,

Moon-marauder, king of the obscene.


Darkness-dealer, lord of the unknown,

Shade-shaper, shaman of the shadowzone,

Dream-weaver, spinner of the surreal,

Illusionist, master of the unreal.


Eclipse-enthraller, ruler of the eclipse,

Dusk-dweller, lord of the shadow's eclipse,

Night-phantom, specter of the nocturnal,

Gloom-god, god of the shadows eternal.


I think the bot has been hit or miss with past installments, but this one works okay. That might be my bias talking, as I think the prompt is well-aligned with my conception of the character, so it works better than other formats might.
