Blood Moon

The fifteenth day of the fourth month of the year
Only shines for those who rise to see it
A hybrid lunar species merging the symbol of a vampire and wolf; 
Howling at the moon while painting the night sky crimson red. 
A lunar tetrad; a bizarre alteration of a lunar eclipse. 
Four chances to catch the view, unless you’re prepared to wait until 2032.
