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! Heidi Sands 1/9/24 (C)opyright
