Nicknames

January..sees the OLD moon
February..WOLF calls the tune
March..LENTEN soon
April..EGG round as a spoon;
May..MILK way up high
June..FLOWER in the sky-

July..HAY circles around
August..GRAIN in the round
September..FRUIT abounds,abounds;
October..HARVEST brings a ball
November..a HUNTER call
Dcember..OAK bares all

Note:Traditional full moon names in England

So interesting! Love your moon naming poetry. I checked online and ours differ (according to the Farmer's Almanac) on quite a few. Everything about the moon is fascinating! Love, Shar
