I See What You're Doing

Vocal Challenge: Acrostic poem using eclipse

By Christy MunsonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Expecting someone else?

Can you really deny your cannibal tendencies when I see you seeking to swallow the Sun to obfuscate the truth?

Laughing, you moon the face of Earth.

I have witnessed you, first-hand, pilfering the stars.

Please, do not attempt to conceal your actions from me now.

Sacred sister, you can surpass the Sun for a time, but your victory is fleeting.

Emancipate the sky this instant and I'll see your reputation restored, or so help me Zeus!
