April 23–Full Moon of Varied Names

Full moon of April; Spring is at hand
with new growth appearing across the southern lands
pink flowers, green shoots, birds on the wing
but up in the North land it's not yet the thing

Rivers are melting, but still bound by the ice
Hunger is rampant, some food might be nice
The name of the moon depends on the place
where it is called when it shows its full face
