The Almost-Shadow Moon Eclipse

It happened only yesternight.Earth’s shadow touched the moon a bit,The earth quite unaware of it, Just turning, turning left to right.
Penumblar is the word we useTo name a partial moon eclipse.It starts on top and then it dips.It travels but it doesn’t bruise
The bright-lit surface of the moonAt all but merely looks as ifThe lanteen of a distant skiffHad briefly shaded silver dunes.
Who watched? We did, but we saw naught.Our global angle wasn’t rightAlthough the Hunter’s moon was bright, So round! So who can be distraught?
