Enter the Moon.

Coat for the Sun.

Light retreats.

In its place comes

Peaceful blankness:

Silence's stealth.

Earth's place becomes known.

Acrostic

    As easily eclipsed as existing.

    A coat for the sun. What a picture. Beautiful piece.

    I like how short the lines are in this one, as I think an acrostic is made harder when you limit how many words you add in. "Silence's stealth." is my favourite bit!

    Nice work on your ‘moody’ acrostic! It’s such a credit to you that you are able to share so many different works..I.e poetry etc as well as some longer form stories amongst your micro story a day challenge. Impressive Rachel !! 😊👏

  • Oooo, I especially loved the coat for the sun. Your Acrostic was so beautiful!

  • Coat for the sun. That was unexpected and very creative. Your poem's flow is awe striking. Good, very good Rachel.

    I love coat for the sun. … well I loved the whole thing but particularly this line. Nice to see you back. Hope Scotland was fun.

    You changed the mood for this one. It feels sacred and liminal. Very arresting poem, Rachel!
