In fact, with a bit of changing to the colours (2001 was oranges and browns)
I think it still stands.
Lyn
Lunar Eclipse
No wild coronas blazing in the dark,
no rings of fire, no diamonds in the sky,
your shadowing more subtle than the blind
black masking of your lover's face, no stark
annihilation of the light, you mark
this darkness with passivity, resigned
to loss of his reflection, dignify
your enforced mourning with consummate art
and summon up the spectrum, put on shades
of scarlet, crimson, purple, blue, a screen
to cloak your temporary widowhood;
you flaunt voluptuous contours as light fades,
gaining solidity, and with it seem
to change, to be the entity you should.
