blue-bloodied clouds
chase across the moon -
Diana's hounds
My entry for this contest: [link]
The moon as I saw it last night. Small clouds were passing in front of it as it sat glowing in darkness, yellow against blue-blackness. One cloud in particular reminded me in shape of a Roman hunting dog style brooch that I have. I used bloodied rather than blooded deliberately. Blue-blooded means that something has pedigree blood, but these clouds had a blue tinge to them, and bloodied means tainted or covered in blood which also goes with the hunting idea.
