Eerie.
Cloaked by a rolling disc,
Light leaves reluctantly, bowled out and stillness arrives.
Indigo shadows quell the bird song, stifling life-
Pin drop silence and reverence
Saturates the world, now a cold, dirty, soulless place:
Encapsulated is an eternal, universal moment.

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?

Very evocative of the title word! You painted quite an eerie scene!
Another great one, Ms Deeming! Well done. Love the tone and feel of this one!
You are clearly inspired by the notion of an eclipse!
Oooo, a soulless place. I really loved that. Brilliant Acrostic!
This was amazing! Your way with words and imagery is incredible.
Very nice, Rachel.
