Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone...

 

I'm being followed by a Moon Shadow...

report from  Yahoo:

August full moon will be a blue moon and a sturgeon moon

A full moon unlike any other in 2021 to rise this weekend ... Bright moonlight will fill the night sky during the weekend when a seasonal blue moon rises on Aug.

The most common type of blue moon is the second of two full moons appearing during the same calendar month. While that scenario played out last October, when we had a full moon on Oct. 1 and another full moon on Halloween, that’s not the case this month.

Although most sky watchers will be calling this the August blue moon, its most common nicknames are the “sturgeon moon,” the “green corn moon” and the “grain moon,” according to the Farmers’ Almanac and the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Here are two poems about the moon which most do not know:

Amores (III)

E. E. Cummings - 1894-1962

•

• 

there is a 
moon sole 
in the blue 
night 

             amorous of waters 
tremulous, 
blinded with silence the 
undulous heaven yearns where 

in tense starlessness 
anoint with ardor 
the yellow lover 

stands in the dumb dark 
svelte 
and 
urgent 

           (again 
love i slowly 
gather 
of thy languorous mouth the 

thrilling 
flower)

Will You Come?
Edward Thomas - 1878-1917
Will you come?
Will you come?
Will you ride
So late
At my side?
O, will you come?
Will you come?
Will you come?
If the night
Has a moon,
Full and bright?
O, will you come?
Would you come?
Would you come
If the noon
Gave light,
Not the moon?
Beautiful, would you come?
Would you have come?
Would you have come
Without scorning,
Had it been
Still morning?
Beloved, would you have come?
If you come
Haste and come.
Owls have cried;
It grows dark
To ride.
Beloved, beautiful, come.
