Cycles of the Moon

Wolf moon leads off each year in a ferocious howling way, Preparing frozen Snow moon to come out, frolic and play Serious Snow moon is replaced by Worm moon in March. Pink moon comes prancing merrily, without any starch. Flower moon replaces Pink in the gentlest possible way Her blossoms awaken Strawberry moon who is merry and gay. Buck moon is next, displaying his gorgeous horns in a flash. Sturgeon moon frolics forward now, leading a well -run dash. September’s Harvest moon comes along and bumps Sturgeon out. October’s Forest moon glides in gently, without any big shout. Blood moon sashays forward, leaving a warm friendly trail. With optimism, Ghost moon ends the year with her usual hale. We are now back to Wolf moon, and the cycle starts over again. So wise and apparent, this force of nature a totally natural win. We recognize our moons as they prance forward year after year. Realizing the moons are forever, so there is nothing to fear.

Thank you my friend. Everything is cyclical, as my seven year old grandson reminded my husband who has been in commodities for over 40 years - making us all laugh.

Magic! This is ultra impressive. Not sure if these phases are recognised/published. You have me convinced they are anyhow! Really like the elements separate but relating to the next. Didn't notice rhyme for a while. There's so much juice in here to relish. It's a Winner of any moon contest!

I am glad that I fooled you. Some of these phases were made up by others, some were made up by me. If they are published, I am not aware of it....however, on Pinterest I did see a beautiful moon poster that listed some of these phases so I grabbed the ones I wanted and ran off with them.
