(NOTE: Kennings are compressed metaphorical phrases developed in Nordic sagas. At their simplest, they generally consist of two nouns joined together, which imaginatively describe or name a third thing. The phrase "whale road," for example, could be used instead of "sea" or "ocean.")

Kenning The Moon
Call it what you will, call it
night dancer or dark's lamp;
call it —when it's new—
face hider or
Bashful Nightbride.
……………..........……….…..Moon,
called by any other name
always remains its magic
multi-nomic self.
