A vignette is like a poem and personal narrative combined. it focuses on a particular moment, mood, aspect, setting, character or object. Writing a vignette can help you illustrate a certain moment for others to learn from or help you come to terms with professional or personal issues. It can also be used for character exploration. Similar to flash fiction, which is an explosive moment described with a great deal of impact squeezed into a few pages, a vignette does not need a lot of dramatic weight. It's an honest and very personal reflection of anything that comes to your mind or that you've experienced.

As the sun dipped over the horizon
It made one last spectacular attempt
To show off its magnificence
At bay the night it kept
With many hues of red and gold
The sky lit up in splendour
Each breath we drew as the patterns unfold
In silent awe and wonder.
