I have no idea what sombre means other than maybe sleeping soundly on the floor and snoring. If I were literate in espanol I may have had a better response. What is that thing running across the top of the window?
It’s a sober reflection on the situation and a sadness about something: what I don’t know at this time. It is how I felt when I heard that Bruno Kirby, a light in my life, had died. It is how I felt when my sister went into the hospital
dark, sad gloomy. Also sombrero, for the sun. It makes me think of Spain or Mexico, hot little villages, baked in the sun with trees for shade and dogs lying under the trees resting, hiding from the sun.
On a hot sunny day I was happy that Gene had given me a sombre as a gag gift. It covers my blond waves and keeps my eyes bright and shiny without having to squint to make more crowsfeet. I love the feel of the woven basket on my head and know it keeps me safe from the sun’s rays.
A vision of a spanish decent person standing in the hot sun with a large sombreo on his head. His face is leather like, needs a shave and he has frown upon his face. Sweat beads adorn his sun baked skin as he stares into the obscure distance.
I didn’t realize this was the word. I think it’s in Spanish–why not English for the majority? I would assume it’s about being somber, serious, sad, melancholy, etc. I think my time is about up and I’ve not really said anything.
it was a sombre day, clouds were lowering and in the distance there was lightening flashing. My little brother and I were sitting under a tree next to a babbling brood with the intention of getting a bit of fishing in. This was not to be. Out mother, concerned about the threatening weather, hauled us into the tent we had set up for a weekend of comping. She was quiteworried about our dad who gad gone off to town on some errand or another. My God, will the sixty seconds never end. We are all sitting around becoming more and more sombre at the thought of having to continue this writing task, as challenging as it may be. It has taken more than sixty seconds to dream up this saga, and I’m already sick of it.
“I can’t believe he’s gone,” she sobbed into her best friends shoulder.
“I know, he replied, rubbing my hair gently,” but it was his time, and he lived a good life. He would not want us to be sad forever,” he whispered to me.
I wiped a tear from my eye and looked up at him with a small grin. “You’re right. There’s still more life to live.”

sad and lonely and dark. sombre is a good descriptive word that proibveoy comes from the french. a sombre night is a nighyt that is worth living but also worth talking about
tired and dark the sky is raining and we have enoug rain for today will stay in and relax o need to go out and see everyone else in a sombre mood under the grey sky
What is a sombre?? Is it a big hat or maybe even a man. I am pronouncing sombre ‘some brey’ I wonder is this correct. I would love to think maybe it is a Spanish name for a beautiful setting. It is hard to write about a word that you are not sure of.
I new a man who had a strange hat. I didn’t know what it was called but it was very cool. He wouldn’t speak of the hat and that made it even more mysterious. One day he appeared on the street without his hat and casued a stir in the neignborhood.
don’t know what that means
