Author's notes: Inspiration for WEDINGS came from a USA Today's article. During the Elope at the Eclipse Event in Ohio, over 100 couples married or renewed their vows during the solar eclipse. See link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/09/solar-eclipse-weddings-elopements/73259671007/
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."

The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.

You did a great job capturing the essence of a wedding in such few words. The poem is simple yet meaningful, conveying the occasion's excitement, joy, and commitment. It's a lovely piece that celebrates love and partnership concisely and heartfeltly.
I never would have thought about a wedding ceremony paired with an eclipse. You've schooled me there Triple S!
Wow... that was cool. Fun times with the eclipse!❤️😊💕
Hey, you are eclipsing with alliteration! 👏👏
Short and sweet
The sun and the moon conjoined are an excellent symbol of the love two people can share! Well-wrought!
Very Nice Work Babs!!!!
Funny how the eclipse event meant different things to different people...
That was lovely. Well done, my friend.
Getting married during an eclipse is not for me, I'll be 100% focused on the sun, not my husband, lol
