    I like this form of the poem, very well done

  • Grz Colm2 years ago

    This is nifty as there’s lots going on in so few words. I am feel my crown chakra healing with this one! 😁

    ‘Potency for change’ is really effective! Well done, Paul!

  • Cathy holmes2 years ago

    "Potency for change." I really like that line. A real "stop and think" moment. Well done, Buddy.

    I like how you've kept yours short on each line Paul- it feels truest to the spirit of an acrostic, and harder to do as well. "internally, thoughts turn upwards potency for change" makes me think of how we see eclipses as momentous events, and it makes us pause for a bit.

    Perfectly done!

    I love that you focus on the lunar pull and its effect on us rather than a momentary eclipsing of light.

    Cherry-picked words so powerful.

  • Only days away, one of those moments for which the whole world waits with bated breath, held in the wonder of all its mystery.

    Great acrostic! Very carefully chosen words that created a very contemplative tone!
