Wild Wolf and Maroon Moon

WILD WOLF and MAROON MOON

                 No Moon night, neither bright nor clear
                 Wild Wolf stared silent on starry sky.
               Moon-phases started as days passed by.
             Nascent crescent descent moon to appear.

             Excited wolf got stunned and made mild grunt.
               Gazing at Half Moon wild wolf wandered.
              Gibbous Moon when up with ghostly wonder,
             Wolf moaning groaning but not ventured to hunt.
           
            At last Full Moon glazed on golden disc.             
             Wild wolf started growling howling,
              rushed for hunting with frolic frowning,
               winked at maroon Moon turning lunatic.
