| Overly hyped, raising expectation
Shadows lengthened Air cooled Clouds moved in Chickens roosted early Dogs and cats were restless Thought something not right Small plane cruised by To see spectacle from above No usual noises No dogs barked No traffic or ATV's I looked out my window Meditating on "how many shades of green Are surrounding me" A glass of wine to celebrate The new moon Darkness fell, as it usually does This time of night |

| Like it, Lilo. We here were not in the sighting area and if we would have been, we would have had clouds too. Did the last two times. But I also remember the kind of eerie silence at a time of day when animals should make all kinds of noise. |

| Thanks for the poem, lilo. I missed the whole thing because I was under the weather. Your poem described it well. |

| From the pictures we saw on TV, it must have been spectacular; if it had been visible in our area, we wouldn't have seen it, either, b/c it's been been cloudy and drizzly for two days--and maybe wll be most of this week. However, the water table is still 4" below what it should be for this time of year, so it's needed. Sure does make the grass and flowers grow! |

| Good poetry -- we watched most of it through a piece of black glass, with some clouds obscuring the very end. |
