I just recently learned what a lune is as defined by the NFSPS (National Federation of State Poetry Societies) . They say it is as you said in your poet's note. If you look up 'lune' on Dictionary.com it gives a couple of definitions, neither of which has anything to do with poetry.
So I'm not sure who at NFSPS decided to make a new poem form and call it a lune (some lunatic, perhaps?) , but it's kind of fun anyway, and in my opinion you have done a good job with this one.
A loon is something else entirely. I think it's the same bird my friends and I called a mud hen back when we were kids.

The first lune in the title refers to the crescent of the moon. The second one to the poem. These were both new to me.
