Wolf Moon over Audlem

Ed: Many thanks to Adrian Farrow who was inspired to poetry by the morning moon and sky

I was inspired to jot down a few lines by an early morning walk under the spectacular Audlem Wolf Moon (first visible full moon of January) today.
Full and floodlight bright,

She casts long tree-shadows deep black

And spectral clouds keep station,

Whilst frost-jewelled hedgerows sparkle back.

As the barn owls call out in the pre-dawn quiet,

Across the silver-white carpet fields,

The village sleeps with curtain eyes closed,

Until sunrise, then the Wolf Moon yields.
