Best Solar Eclipse Poems

Across the sky the Sun could see
The Moon approach, with nervous glee
A longtime coming, an empirical fact
Ninety-Nine years to be exact

The Sun stood ready, her corona ablaze
Moments away from a stellar phase
Not a crescent or harvest or even a full
She wondered about gravitational pull

Now almost...

MINDFUL OF SOLAR ECLIPSE

He’s coming with his dark glasses
and dizzying smile

He’s stopping by for a minute or two
a minuet of manic joy

He covers the sun with his steady hand
she tingles with trepidation

Will she be blotted out from his employ
she wipes off sweat as he passes...

A full total solar eclipse occurred on July 2, 2019,
In only Chile and Argentina.
I was informed about it and told my scoffing, daughter dear:
"There is something destructive that will result from this, I fear. "

Surely, enough it did, in the Mojave Desert on July 4, 2019
with such...

There's something I feel that I still haven't said,
Quotes that haven't straddled my lips.
When poetry wheels don't turn in my head,
Words can cast a solar eclipse.

Two eyes to us, which way to look?
Astrology or Astronomy?
Beliefs or Facts?
The war has lasted so long.
One side, magic and on other, science!
Priests versus scientists.
Curse or phenomena rare?
Some praying while some rejoicing.
Event tragic or one festive?
The peak time: some cry in sadness
While so many are...

A world without sun
Just a halo gleams on sea
People with faith know
Not all that exists is seen
Obscured, but the light remains...

The countdown has begun
Be sure and stay tuned
To see, as our sun
Parallels the moon

A veil of crescent shadows
Will stretch across my lawn
A gentle wind's blow
And quickly they'll be gone

The sun, a pleasing strength
The temp, rather magical
Be sure not to blink
The sight will be fantastical...

My Solar Eclipse

We only made words but somehow I knew
Your magnetic charm would lead me to you
I waited until your force drew me in
Stirring sensations that were so akin
Phenomena as a Solar Eclipse

The moon moved between the earth and the sun
A sensation of your scent...

Under the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.

The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence 
To the grandeur to which we all belong.

This...

*Deep I have fallen 
    eyelids leaden with sleep
       just a hole to crawl in 
         and rest my feet  *

Celestial Play

In daylight hours when stars fall sleep, 
They opened wide eyes to see celestial wonder –
The sun and moon at play 
Racing across their blue playground in hide and seek – 
A game of tag – 
Leaving trails of laughter  
For earthbound eyes,...
