Bloody Moon of April

The astrologers have set a date for an unique celestial phenomena; why would the translucent Luna turn ginger and then deep red? Back in January it resembled a huge orange balloon, its size was awesome to view; it stood there to entertain a goon whose sad mood turned into the happiest song he ever sung... and although the air was nippy, he strolled along! Bloody moon of April, appear before I go to rest and linger until the robins start warbling in their nest; who wouldn't think of passion and envision dreams that change with the seasons like your moonbeams? Bloody moon of April, hang in that breezy, starless sky: isn't this my last opportunity to marvel at you before I die?

Dear Andrew, It truly was an amazing site to watch. It did appear to be yellow first, then had a touch of red. You will have another opportunity to see a blood moon. I think there are two more coming up soon. Awesome write, dear friend. Congratulations! Love, Carolyn
