Not too far from my home town is Lafayette Indiana; which is near the Tippecanoe River. This is where there is a fantastic yearly celebration called “The Feast of the Hunters Moon” It is such a tradition all the wonderful re-enactments, music, selling booths, feasts of food & also you can wear deerskin clothing, moccasins, and even headdresses, you name it; The pilgrimage of your choice. And the Very best part of this wonderful yearly season is that there is a lot & lot of wild game to feast upon! All the hunters bring their game & cook it, but there is also chicken & beef & pork too. But the best is rabbit, squirrel, deer, and even snake. I am not fond of bear meat. I have never tasted elk, but I do love buffalo. The Hunter’s Moon is a full moon rising in October & back in the day of all full moons gave great light for the hunters to see while they hunted for food for their tribes/families to sustain them through the winter months. February was their most hungry time as the food stock wore thin from all their harvests. This poem is a transition of full moons for each month in poetic form.
And these moons came alive in this very visual piece, Vickie. Thank you for sharing this delightful poem.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Harvest moons will then journey
The many workloads fare is well
A lovely sail among the moons. The time of the harvest moon is a favorite to me. Where I live now, some call it a "Carolina Moon."

Glorious offering for the body and soul. Thank you for sharing the folklore and tradition you have the great fortune to live with. Within every heart is a beast. What we do with it is up to us, indeed. And in our most hungriest hour, we do feed....
The moon (and the wolf as well) has been a source of inspiration for me on numerous occasions. The superb photo effectively complements your verses and what you express within them. Thank you for sharing this gift, Vickie. Love, hugs, and my very best wishes to you,
"Moons" is a 'glowing', wonderfully penned poem . . . your quill stays sharp!!
Hugs,
Lance

Vickie, I know all these moons so well. You really described each moon so eloquently, and that photo, oh my, it is simply gorgeous! I was fortunate to see the January full moon, and it was simply spectacular! Very bright, the brightest moon of 2009! I have two skylights in my bedroom and it lit my room up like it was daytime. Of course I did a meditation sitting under this moonlight and charged all my jewelry under all those moonbeams!
Much peace, love, and MOON light!

I eat snakes, as the Chinese people view snakes as a form of warming effect to the stomach, so snakes are always eaten during the winter months. But I personally would not eat rabbit, squirrels, and deer. I think of them as dear and tame animals that can be our friends.
You have described the "Moon" so well in reflection to this hunters festival.
