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
