Mead Moon in June


Carl Sandburg (1878–1967).  Cornhuskers.  1918.
 
84. Moonset
 
 
LEAVES of poplars pick Japanese prints against the west.
Moon sand on the canal doubles the changing pictures.
      The moon’s good-by ends pictures.
The west is empty. All else is empty. No moon-talk at all now.
      Only dark listening to dark.


The Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon, Mead Moon, Honey Moon, Rose Moon.

June 17, 2019, appearing "opposite" the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 4:31 AM EDT.

The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Saturday night through Tuesday morning.
