easier said than done
But still worth trying...for the In Eclipse Challenge
easier said than done, as
clouds gather over the horizon
long and lonely is the night, when
in dreams I am free but trapped,
peering with hope at what might be, as
shadows draped over the horizon remind me it's
easier said than done - to eclipse my past

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.

I like that this one is more tied to the speaker, and to their life. It feels like they’re reflecting on themselves as they see the eclipse. It’s never too late🙌
I’m h this is beautiful, Paul! Took my breath away at the end❣️
I relate to this - I think we all can! *sigh* that lingering regret despite trying to live in the present. You evoked some strong feelings in me here - well done!
The past eclipsing the present, again and again and again. This is a really striking image and metaphor for a very striking poem. Really fine work. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
A nice Acrostic poem
Whoaaa, that last line! As a person who's living in her past, that line hit me so hard! Loved your Paulitical Acrostic! 🍩🥐
