  12. Very dark and perhaps gloomy; no laughter; no partying; like “ombre,” in the shadows; not a place to be, within or without oneself; the antithesis of light and happiness. One lives a sombre life incompletely. Sometimes people get to the dark side, a sort of compelling draw to the essential negativity of being. The movement is, ironically, somewhat satisfying. Perhaps it fulfills our affirmation that we are so small.

  15. The clouds shifted with the wind, looking sombre in their movements. Even they knew what was to happen. I watched in horror as the plane barely missed the trees, but didn’t miss the invisible wall in the sky and crashed. I ran to escape the propelled airplane parts.

  19. It was the day my grandpa died. A loud hush filled the halls of the hospital and then our home. There were tears on the faces of loved ones, silent prayers on the minds of all our family. I remember going to bed that night and wishing the day could start over, that the last few months could start over. That I could play the piano for him once again and have his smile show through his scruffy face.

  23. The day was sombre, with clouds floating aimlessly in the sky, gray drizzle on my head. My mood matched the day as I reflected on my recent loss. Where is the joy in life? I couldnot imagine a time when I could smile again. Will there ever be music in my lfe again?

  24. It’s the spanish for sad or dark. It means the same in English and reflects one’s mood. People often have a ” sombre” look about them that could mean they were unhappy or had some other problem.

  29. Sombre was the sun, the wind and the light. It never waivered, just remained the same all throughout the day. I kept thinking that it would change, but it never did; ongoing, never ending, always the same, sombre.

  34. makes me think of hombre, clint eastwood, western movies. Although I know it’s somber – I think. Mellow. I can’t help but replace the “s” with an “h”.

    this spelling of the word is bothersome to me. Takes the somber feeling away and replaces it with bothersome.
