COOL HIP WIRED
Acrostic Poem for the In Eclipse Challenge
Everyone has their morning routines.
Coffee naturally starts their day.
Like, it's cool and hip.
I, on the other hand, have to
Pass on the caffeine. It causes
Synapses to jingle and jangle.
Easily eclipsed and wired.
The prompt, " Write an acrostic poem using this word: eclipse.
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. An eclipse, a cosmic phenomenon and a word with multiple meanings, serves as the focal point of this challenge. We invite you to craft an acrostic poem using the word "eclipse." An acrostic poem is a form of poetry where the initial letters of each line spell out a word or message when read vertically.
The eclipse symbolizes not only the celestial event where one celestial body obscures another, but it also metaphorically signifies concealment, transformation, and even revelation."

Just being kind is enough in this world?
There’s a well-known saying that suggests financial strength is the source of anyone’s confidence; money, it claims, can remedy all inferiority complexes. The notion is that kindness is futile — excellence is the key.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

I usually start with tea! 😁
I can't use caffeine and now I am giving up decaf mochas. It has become an addiction. That small amount of caffeine is a craving for me and I have started to get an occasional headache when I don't have the mocha part or not enough decaf in a day?? Oh well!😊💕❤️ Nice Elipse acrostic.
I can’t do coffee either. It usually makes me feel sick so I’m with you Babs. I loved your take on the acrostic challenge. ❤️
I'm passing with you! I'm allowed an espresso cup of my partner's coffee, it's all I can handle!
Coffee is more than addicting! Incredible acrostic , Babs!! 💌💝💓
I'm so sorry you have to stop taking coffee. I'm sure it would have been tough initially. Loved your Acrostic!
I like the second line the most it feels the most relatable.
Hey you and i both can't handle coffee-wake up with sparkling water or just ice water
I don’t drink caffeine everyday either. This is a hip poem 🥰
Fab work! Go Babs!
Loved your acrostic
Ah yes, we all need our coffee!!!!!! But i also need to avoid it :(
Oh, you had me at coffee...hahaha!! Great one, Babs :)
Great take on it. Should I have a third cup?
This is good. You know I love my coffee, though. Well done, my friend.
I like your take on the Challenge Babs as it’s totally different to the norm. Well done. 💕❤️💕
