Oh Skye, I’m laughing hard here at your comment. They’ve never seen an eclipse before. I wrote this haiku with King Solomon’s Mines in mind.
Skye @ TheSanctuaryofMyHeart said:
lol….Hmmmm…they do not know what they were missing. 😀 I wrote about King Solomon on my devotional blog this morning! That is so funny. Great minds…..well, one mind…mine is still under question. Big hugs…much love.

ooooooh!! I will be a sensitive wreck by the end of the day, distressed even by that slight change!! 😉

I witnessed my first eclipse of the sun by the moon in 2006, around March I think. It was an awesome sight, Nanka. I remember I was all in praise of God at such a miracle! Really I have no words to describe how I felt!

I didn’t even realize it was Friday the 13th until I got on the internet this evening. I’ve been in Ghana a long time.

LOL! You know the significance of the date was lost to me until I started visiting the blogs to read the haiku!

A really good eclipse still feels spooky to me. This feels like Shakespeare. Good work.
