Moon Music

January moon
silver flute announcing the
frozen infant year

February moondance
tango temptress crossing floors
swooning from the shine

March moon steps in time
trumpeting a spring parade
led by drum and fife

Folk moon April strum
sweet rain strings of harmony
telling simple tales

Opera moon of May
arias in bloom for her
costumed production

June reggae half-moon
slicing through the summer sky
energized and ripe

Jazz moon of July
waxing craaaazy jiving disk
steaming in the groove

Punk rock August moon
shaking sweat from slam dance stars
spiked on lightning strikes

Ska September moon
brass and bass to shake the leaves
heavy on the beat

Bluegrass silver moon
round October banjo skin
stretched with strands of cloud

Blues November moon
songs slung low in twelve bar moans
giving birth to cold

Moonbeam symphonies
lights strung along December
composed by snowflakes
