Peekaboo

The Bald Eagle circled above the crowd
They gathered for an eclipse party!
People set up their chairs outside 
as they waited for a special solar eclipse
Slowly, the moon moved into the light
as the sun played peekaboo from behind it
The moon continued to hide the sun from us
A breeze started to blow, temperature dropped
Then it was like dusk all around at 98 percent
A rare occurrence at 3:30 in the afternoon!
Bright light reached outward, upon sun's return
It's face spreading a smile straight from the sky
While the moon left its meeting, it said, goodbye!
