Hunter's Moon, Solar Moons Premiere

Hunter’s Moon                                                           

Hunters track and kill their prey,
while autumn moon guides their way
colorful moon shining at night
displays a reddish glow inlay.

Predators stalk their food for winter,
by sanguine moon front and center
they rest as the full moon beams,
devouring its kill before reenter.

Twelve solar months come a year;
with full moons showy premiere,
there emerges dramatic celestial sights
over snowcap hemispheres.

Friends camping under, hunter’s bloody moon light;
east a hot winter meal, grilled over flaming campfires,  

Solar Moons Premiere

As it goes, the wolf moon hunts in the snow moon,
while the worm moon laid larva on the pink moon.
The flower moon bloom with the strawberry moon,.
while the buck moon buys back the Sturgeon moon.
Then the harvest moon yield to the hunter’s moon,
while the beaver moon work on the cold moon.

Hi Barbara

This poem was a very enjoyable read. One suggestion: make six lines out of the bottom three lines. Split them up after the comma after the word "moon" and bfore the word "while". Always, Cat
