Listen to poem:

A blood moon's spiritual meaning through history, was a bad omen; portending the death of a King through His overthrow; and foretold of an uprising. And the Christian Bible feared an apocalypse. Today, a red moon rising means a lunar eclipse. Yet superstitions, can often prevail over facts. The Moon has always influenced our ancient beliefs. Native Americans, thought the moon needed care.

The historical fact of the blood moon is beautifully said. The present-day implication too is brought out. Congratulations!

Still, it is interesting. My daughter was curious of the specific announcement that the kids would not be in school that day. Announcement made as school was about to start and this eclipse happening next year. Perhaps we should pay attention to the sky…who knows! Good one!
