"Now is the season

of hungry mice,

cold rabbits,

lean owls

hunkering with their lamp-eyes

in the leafless lanes

in the needled dark;"

from 'Wolf Moon' by Mary Oliver

taken from her volume 'Twelve Moons' 

The full Wolf Moon can be seen in UK skies this afternoon. It will reach full brightness at around 6pm.

Writing prompts:

• You are a hungry mouse, a cold rabbit or a lean owl. Write about your night spent beneath the full moon.
• Now you are a howling wolf. What are you trying to communicate to your fellow wolves? How does it feel to howl?!
• Look up at the moon this evening. Bathe in the light, then come inside and write down your thoughts.
