Sunrise monostichs

   the poplar trees   threw shadows

   longer than themselves

And compare:

From the crest of the Ciminian mountains

they first saw the sun.

[id., p. 331]

On patrol in Vietnam, with the Marines:

The largest sun I’ve ever seen

was beginning to rise   from the edge of the earth.

It was dark orange,

as sharply defined as the full moon  
but enormously larger.

-- Daniel Ellsberg,  Secrets (2002), p. 163
