Writer's notes: Thank you for reading. You are appreaciated.

My acrostic poem was written for Vocal's the eclipse challenge.

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."

    See...I am a miserable so and so a lot of the time and really probably focus on the sadness and darkness a lot. Then I read something by you Babs and there's that positivity...that brightness. Lovely work, Babs, seriously! :)
