Amazing poem! Your word choice is pristine!
I like this a lot, I think it's my favourite eclipse poem 😁
Oooo, I'd love for this to happen hehehehe. Loved your Acrostic!
Quite the invitation! Very cleverly done! Such restlessness captured in the early lines and then a halting close.
It was so gently pleading until the Evermore.
Fantastic poem!
