A draft for a poem about tonight's moon, in a language I'm at the early stages with.

A lot of the spelling is based off conventional writing of the West-Saxon dialect of Old English, and a lot of the morphology and word forms are based off Old Saxon (continental old "Low German". Also some influences from Old Frisian was unavoidable. I'm only just now getting to the point where I have a lot of the grammar in place, but will tweek a lot of spelling forward in declensions. I'm happy with the vocabulary and semantics. A lot of the themes are based off folklore and mythology.
