Everyone has their morning routines.

Coffee naturally starts their day.

Like, it's cool and hip.

I, on the other hand, have to

Pass on the caffeine. It causes

Synapses to jingle and jangle.

Easily eclipsed and wired.

The prompt, " Write an acrostic poem using this word: eclipse.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. An eclipse, a cosmic phenomenon and a word with multiple meanings, serves as the focal point of this challenge. We invite you to craft an acrostic poem using the word "eclipse." An acrostic poem is a form of poetry where the initial letters of each line spell out a word or message when read vertically.

The eclipse symbolizes not only the celestial event where one celestial body obscures another, but it also metaphorically signifies concealment, transformation, and even revelation."

    I usually start with tea! 😁

  • I can't use caffeine and now I am giving up decaf mochas. It has become an addiction. That small amount of caffeine is a craving for me and I have started to get an occasional headache when I don't have the mocha part or not enough decaf in a day?? Oh well!😊💕❤️ Nice Elipse acrostic.

    I can’t do coffee either. It usually makes me feel sick so I’m with you Babs. I loved your take on the acrostic challenge. ❤️

    I'm passing with you! I'm allowed an espresso cup of my partner's coffee, it's all I can handle!

  • I'm so sorry you have to stop taking coffee. I'm sure it would have been tough initially. Loved your Acrostic!

    I like the second line the most it feels the most relatable.
