Very interesting poem about different full moons .We see and relate our lives with sun and moon.It is how different names of full moon represent different aspects of life on earth.In my language , Odia, a full moon is called 'Purnima'.Twelve full moons have twelve names according to the names of months- -Baishakha Purnima, , Jyestha Purnima, Ashadha Purnima etc.
