Those who looked at the moon on Saturday admired its brightness. It was almost completely full. The moon is completely full at 9:01 a.m. on Sunday, August 22. This means that the lunar disk is 100% illuminated by the sun. The full moon on August 22 is also a blue moon, in English, a blue moon.
Once it has passed the full point, the illumination of the lunar disk decreases day by day, until it reaches the half moon, on August 30, and then the new moon, on September 6, when the disk of the moon is without light.

Blue Moon in English
blue moon
one day
Before I eat smile
I hate moonlight!
shadows of the night
Poets find it deceptive
Flat like moonlight
With no one to stay awake
I went to sleep at ten
Life was a bitter cup
To the sorrow of all men
one day
My heart was just a member
My life didn’t matter
Now that I’m with you
Being Rich Like Morgan
It is my only ambition
As soon as I woke up at seven
I hate the morning light
Now I’m awake in heaven
And all the world is fine
The blue moon saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without my own love
blue moon
You knew exactly what you were there for
You heard me say a prayer for
Someone I could really care about
Then suddenly appeared in front of me
The only one in my arms
I heard someone whisper “Please adore me”
And when I looked, the moon turned to gold!
Blue Moon! Now I’m not alone anymore
Without a dream in my heart
Without my own love

Without a dream in my heart
Without my own love

Which poets find charming
They looked as faint as moonlight
Because I had no one to keep me awake
I was going to bed at 10:00
Life was a bitter cup
To the saddest man ever
Once
My heart was just a member
I had no mission in life
Now that I have
