Nature's most awesome sight,
stars and planets come out,
once in a lifetime experience;
a total solar eclipse.
Stars and planets come out,
birds and squirrels nest,
a total solar eclipse;
an eerie feeling.
Birds and squirrels nest,
leaves hurl over the earth,
a total solar eclipse;
moon shimmies across the sun.
Gliding through the sky,
once in a lifetime experience,
the big sky event;
nature's most awesome sight.
--Brenda Kay Ledford

This will be an awesome event for you, Brenda. Hope you can post some pictures!
I enjoyed reading your eclipse poem, Brenda. And I hope to view it when the eclipse takes place in my area as we're right in line to see it for 2 minutes, also. Thank you for sharing your lovely, descriptive poems with your readers.
This is beautiful. I would love to be in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Hi There, We are excited about this one... I hope and pray that we have a nice day that day since where we live is a good place to see it... Two of my sons are coming for the big event.
Have a wonderful summer.
Hugs,
Betsy
