Watching the Ground
A procrastinator's eclipse experience
Even as I wish for paper glasses, I hedge. I
Could take it or
Leave it, I think. I can trust the moon to
Inch around again. It will
Pass, as all things do, and aren't the
Shadow minnows swimming under every tree
Enough?

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!! I'd pick a favourite line but the entire thing is gorgeous in a way that belongs to your iconic writer's voice.
I like how this viewpoint doesn’t sensationalise or dramatise the eclipse, but a sense of assurance is kept throughout. Shadow minnows is lovely imagery Suze!
This is excellent. "Shadow minnows" Splendid imagery! Fantastic.
Your photo and poem are both so absolutely gorgeous! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
So beautiful! “It will pass, as all things do.” Such a lovely reminder.
Wow stunning picture there and great poem!
What a photo! I've never seen these eclipse minows!
My thoughts exactly. I spent about 10 minutes observing it in the shadows of a colander and a cheese grater. lol I really enjoyed this one, Suze!
