2024 Travers Poetry Winner!
~Kannan K. Patel, Class of 2028
Get your glasses
find a spot
As the moon creeps
and covers
the sun
kids stare up in awe
at the moon
that is finally
bigger than the sun
drive to Vermont
into the path
of totality
Kids play tag and relay race
under the dark sun
sun handing over its place
in the sky
to the moon
the sun
getting its turn to be the crescent
Finally here in the northeast
humans
of all ages
travel to see
the amazing eclipse
temps drop
shadows fall
and darkness rises
missing last period
missing school
going out of the way
to see this wonder
At three twenty-nine
find a clear spot
to see the sun
drown in the void
Of space
