So beautiful, this! And so difficult to put words on why. This reaches me on a non-verbal level, as a feeling, something vague. As if putting words on it would make it disappear (like a wolf would, perhaps?). Really love the title, the words, the image, the intangible in all this!
I’ve been trying to write haiku using the moon names for a few months now — there are so many! and they are so evocative. I have a hard time knowing if what I’m trying to say (or show) comes through, because things are often vague and indiscriminate for me, too, when I’m doing these things. I often don’t know what it is I’m drawing or saying until its done.
Stunning. I love what you’re doing with the moon names. I tried to do it once a month a few years back and fell off in August, but I was thoroughly enchanted by the names. I still am. I used whirling wind moon (got it from feathers) last week. Thanks for the inspiration–and for the wonderful poetry, of course.
I somehow missed this comment…
I did see your poems in my email, back during the small stone month. it was nice to see your writing popping up again. I fell off the small stones, but I’m trying to keep up the moon thing. there are some terrific names coming up for march — lizard and little frog, to name a few!

oh, thank you so much!

here’s a list of the moon names I’ve used so far. I have high hopes of making through the year!
