Was the moon in a bad mood? It came up from over the horizon Dark red, deep rubicund. It rose slowly Following its normal pattern. Still dark red, erubescent As if in anger. I sat on the pusillanimous sand, alone. Moody and irritable. Now she had left. And I'm sad and angry, Unlike the wavelets That flowed over the rim of the beach. There will be no peace between us. Still the moon shone Dark red.

I hear the light of a full Moon might disrupt people’s sleep, which could influence their mood, and if red oh my.. <3

The red moon of the lovely picture is a fine complement to the somber and sad mood of this beautiful verse. Great writing!

The dark red moon is a forboding sight, the ancients saw it as the harbinger of doom. Tom

Remorseless red moon turns soft white when our eyes are not bloodshot red!
