easier said than done
But still worth trying...for the In Eclipse Challenge
easier said than done, as
clouds gather over the horizon
long and lonely is the night, when
in dreams I am free but trapped,
peering with hope at what might be, as
shadows draped over the horizon remind me it's
easier said than done - to eclipse my past

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

I like that this one is more tied to the speaker, and to their life. It feels like they’re reflecting on themselves as they see the eclipse. It’s never too late🙌
I’m h this is beautiful, Paul! Took my breath away at the end❣️
I relate to this - I think we all can! *sigh* that lingering regret despite trying to live in the present. You evoked some strong feelings in me here - well done!
The past eclipsing the present, again and again and again. This is a really striking image and metaphor for a very striking poem. Really fine work. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
A nice Acrostic poem
Whoaaa, that last line! As a person who's living in her past, that line hit me so hard! Loved your Paulitical Acrostic! 🍩🥐
