Anita Harris Poet Tritina

Images of Eclipse

Images appear, randomly scattered
Under the trees, in the shape of crescents,
At the time of partial solar eclipse.

Pictures of the sun in near-full eclipse,
Like a deck of cards at my feet scattered,
Ev'ry card identical--all crescents.

Among the shadows, multiple crescents
Match the moon-blocked light of the sky's eclipse.
Between leaves of trees, the light now scattered.

Gaze and stand in awed amazement at the
Scattered, perfect crescents of sun's eclipse!

Dave Timperley August 23, 2017 at 7:16 AM Lovely interpretation Anita. I was sat on our veranda here in Cyprus and it was supposed to occur during the mid afternoon. Seems my eyes eclipsed first with the heat! God Bless. D. Anita Harris August 23, 2017 at 9:15 AM Oh, no! Hate you missed it! One of the truly great wonders of nature.
