Definition: A period into which a year is divided, historically based on the phases of the moon.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek,
At this word "month," it’s something we all seek!
The dictionary tells us, quite clear and bright,
“A period into which a year is split with light!”
Now, think about the moon, so round and grand,
It changes its shape across the land.
These cycles of change, waxing and waning slow,
Were how our ancestors measured time, you know!
They watched the moon’s phases, high and low it seems,
And divided a year into months, like golden dreams.
So, a month isn't just days, a simple count,
But tied to the moon, with a cyclical mount!
Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
Let’s discuss this further, and watch our knowledge grow! 😊
