A Lunar Eclipse

A Lunar Eclipse
By Clarence G. Underwood
.
.A lunar eclipse is great to see.
As the bright full moon darkens
It means the light is leaving it,
But then, there is this flash of red
And there I see, that bright blood
Color which surrounds it. Oh
You the moon, you enchanted
Object in the sky! You have moved
To a place where the Earth hides you
From the radiant sun in your sky. The
Light that now reaches you is filtered
By the earth. With the kaleidoscope
Type of view multiple colors have
Emerged. As the eclipse did progress
The beautiful colors disappeared. Now
From a brief darkness your gray white
Hue has again appeared! The eclipse
Is ending, another event for the books.
It will be a while before this happens
Again! I hope you got a picture to share
With your friends!
