[Editor’s Note: In tribute to Sunday afternoon’s spectacular annular solar eclipse over Los Angeles, the poet laureate of Culver City composed this poem that she read to her poetry group yesterday morning. Dr. Hoult notes that the profession of her husband Charley was misidentified in Monday’s followup story. He is a rocket scientist/aerospace engineer.]

Re “Look, but Not Too Closely

Although there often is a ring

Around the moon’s dark shadow

It was still an awesome thing

That moved and set the sky aglow

As the sun made its descent…

Through the clouds the moon did sail

And made the sun look like a crescent

But also like a fingernail!
