Eclipsing of a Super Moon


Ancient or medieval man may have thought it a
Bad omen or a harbinger of disasters to come.
Today, in this enlightened world of science and
Advanced technology, some still do put their faith

And fears in that which they don’t understand. It’s
Just a shadow plain and simple. Even a child would
Understand—like making a duck on the wall with your
Hands as a light shines behind you. It’s only a full moon,

A super moon with a lunar eclipse thrown in for good
Measure. I say let the romantics have their way, rela-
ting such an uncommon event to love’s eclipsing of
The heart. One thing is for sure, believer in hocus-po-

cus, black magic or being a well-versed poet smitten
With more amorous desires, I will most certainly not
Be attending the next super moon eclipse event
Scheduled in about thirty-years or so. Let me see,

I’m 68-years old, give or take several months either
Way, and in three decades I will be…Well, forget about
All that. It takes neither an astronomer nor a mystical
Sorcerer (regardless what either has to say), but as a

Lowly poet, I am scheduled by universal law and popu-
lar demand to be performing out of town on that par-
ticular day.
