Ludix-Rym-Why My Name Is Moon

With ancient mysteries you come In your full light, hearts you do strum Amid rituals some succumb To your heartbeat played on a drum Your names do change meanings for some January wolf howls a thrum Eerily call family hum Never knowing where you come from February called snow, not glum Low skies of grey make you feel numb Through parting cloud the sight of you Enraptured skies charm overdue To bring the sugar moon, March knew Of winter storms try to subdue Sweetness of spring to see us through Pink moon of April aptly grew The phlox carpet gardens imbue Your fullness we must bid adieu To greet flower, Mays name you flew Rich scents of delights we accrue Dancing petals arrive with rain To kiss June’s strawberry rose mane We bless your fullness to contain The longest day on the years’ skein We see your glow with pink champagne July’s new buck is born to reign The month wants thunder to abstain And flies the crane and grows the grain It’s summer warmth we do obtain Abounds the August fruit sustain Blue sky playground sings lullaby Encircle your name with fresh pie And rejoice a sturgeon fish fry The sun your husband and ally Bless fields with magic we apply September named for harvest cry To reap the grounds which we rely Full moon’s help is always near by As sanguine October does sigh The hunter comes to say goodbye The richness of fall our income Before November mourning plum Last moon before Solstice voodoo We rejoice hours longer renew With friends and family we deign Our humble Thanksgiving is plain To December’s moon a cold eye Give frankincense gifts to comply Each months’ full bounty a named moon Complete in her wonder I swoon written: 10-16-2019 For: LUDix-Rym contest used rhyme-zone and Poetry Soup syllable counter

It was a bit daunting, LuLoo's form that is for sure! Thank you so much for reading...I sat in bed while it rained a monsoon and wrote it but I had figured out moon names and who many sentences each could have a few days before I tried to write it.
