The total lunar eclipse boasted hues of red in the evening over the fields just ahead. She looked down from her sky high perch and saw scenes of life from Mother Earth. Vultures flew in circles round and round, because a carcass of a raccoon was found. Then from a hollow log in the field of green grass, a bunny peaked its nose up high and let out gas. A dragonfly landed on the back of a stray dog, while he was hiding his bone in a log. Yes, the red moon caught a glimpse of land, then snickered because she was the star of the sky grand.

carcass was miss spelled. but the rumers of the red moon still bewilder me. It was if to say this signals nothing but Life goes on. And the red moon would be the center of attention.

By the way you did read my intent of the poem correctly. Life goes on is the simple message and the moon got the center of attention.
