I wrote this poem after a lunar eclipse event. Sadly, due to a cloudy night, we were unable to witness this happening. This is when the sun, earth and moon align and the moon enters the earth`s shadow and takes on a red hue,  After reading up about it, I put pen to paper and this is the outcome  🔴

Blood Moon

it`s late here and should be dark

but there`s a brightness tonight

even though the sun has set

there`s a blood moon in sight

a large red disc in the sky

appearing through the hedgerow

hiding behind the black trees

radiating an eerie glow

it`s a great experience

driving along with this moon here

dark patches are visible

every crater is so clear

to see this large red round orb

brightly shining there by me

floating along the horizon

so glad I had the chance to see
