Eclipse Moment--Constanza

I watch as the hawk hovers round
Its shadow cast down by the sun,
Battle for life has just begun.

Mother hen fights back from the ground
As the cloud turns dark and wind blows,
bending basils arranged in rows

Dusts swirl,breeze whistles;rain abound
Clouds rumble;people run for shade,
green pigment of leaves does not fade.

As floss and leaves float all around.
Lightning sparks as day turns to night,
Eclipse of the sun comes to light.

Sun appears back where it is found,
high up in  the sky  at  its  post,
giving out heat to dry the coast.


I watch as the hawk hovers round
Mother hen fights back from the ground
Dusts swirl,breeze whistles;rain abound
As floss and leaves float all around
Sun appears back where it is found.

Olusegun, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie
