Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

I like this form of the poem, very well done
This is nifty as there’s lots going on in so few words. I am feel my crown chakra healing with this one! 😁
‘Potency for change’ is really effective! Well done, Paul!
"Potency for change." I really like that line. A real "stop and think" moment. Well done, Buddy.
I like how you've kept yours short on each line Paul- it feels truest to the spirit of an acrostic, and harder to do as well. "internally, thoughts turn upwards potency for change" makes me think of how we see eclipses as momentous events, and it makes us pause for a bit.
Perfectly done!
I love that you focus on the lunar pull and its effect on us rather than a momentary eclipsing of light.
Cherry-picked words so powerful.
Only days away, one of those moments for which the whole world waits with bated breath, held in the wonder of all its mystery.
Great acrostic! Very carefully chosen words that created a very contemplative tone!
Nicely done 👍🏽
This is awesome! Great work!
This is beautiful, Paul.
