An acrostic eclipse challenge poem

Everyone eagerly expecting an eclipse experience. Eastbound

Caravans coming from California, cruising and catching

Luna’s lunging and lingering; a lapsing layer, leading to a light lasso. Luna,

Incredibly, and intensely, inhaling and ingesting Incan Inti.

Predicted yet phenomenal power provokes pensiveness and perplexity; passionate people’s protected peepers peeking,

Squinting, supporting special shaded spectacles, seeing the spherical sky star slowly swallowed by sweeping shadows,

Excitedly, enthusiastically, experiencing everything entirely ebony.
