It’s Haiku Day for the WordCount 2012 Blogathon, so I took yesterday’s (invisible-from-Florida) annular eclipse as inspiration:
Strangest afternoon,
Sun-disk nibbled by the moon –
Hiding in plain sight.
Yes, I know that haiku isn’t supposed to rhyme – it just happened…

I really liked your haiku, especially the theme you wrote about. You gave short yet vivid description.
I’ve never seen an annular eclipse. I have been privileged to see two total solar eclipses. You have captured a lot of the essence of an eclipse.
Lovely Haiku. I like that you blend the eastern (haiku) with the western (language and rhyme), especially since this eclipse was seen around the Pacific Rim.
