HUNTER'S MOON
Relish your dark woundings
prime your pellets
check your powders
for soon comes the hunter's moon
Polish your stock
let your barrel breathe oil
make slick your cloths
practise footfalls of stealth
for soon comes the hunter's moon
while fen and forest
sweat and furrow
while fur frets in the burrow
hold fast your dreams for now
for soon comes the hunter's moon

Many thanks for all the readers who liked this: Red Brick, Hugh, New Shoes, Holden and Helene.
Thanks for that Graham - I sweated myself over those lines as a matter of fact.
I'm pleased you liked this Greg - it's good when the moon sails free to show itself all griss to the hunter.
Thanks for your appreciation Stephen..
