The prompt: hunger moon
“Hunger Moon” is the name of the full moon of January as it is mentioned inThomas’s Old Farmers Almanac (founded in 1792). During this month the wolves once roamed the countryside, thus suggesting the name wolf moon. In cold and temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, it was difficult to find food during January, thus the name hunger moon.

the howling of wolves –
cry of a crow

I frosted my hair silver/white in Japan…
got attention and got me into traffic
at a corner where it was difficult to
cut into the line at the “T” in the road
while they looked at the American lady
with the funny hair and the blonde child.

Looking towards Downtown, across the Union River Bridge and up and around Bridge Hill.
Half way up the hill, there is a “Y” or “fork in the road”, that continues
on to the right to Bucksport, Maine, and to the left, Surry Blue Hill,
and Stonington, places I mention as I write.

Those who know me
are aware that my beloved
Bianca, the cat that represents me when I post,
passed away in October.
Last week I found a fur baby at the shelter:
Another Norwegian Forest cat mix,
but reversed coloring…
mostly black.
Her name is Blaze S’More

May we all Thrive and Prosper
in 2014
