Andromeda-W

I used to teach A for Andromeda, a play As back as in late sixties. I desire to buy the star Andromeda Of the Andromeda galaxy From the cosmologist Fred Hoyle. Let she be my ruling star For my sweetie Charmer Iris. Oh fair biological built Andromeda Of short childhood and immortal youth Quite Ignorant of all feelings To teach you love they touched you softly To teach you pain they pinched you. My heavenly passions have flown Yours is the blushing hours I invoke you to rise early And delay your departure. Shine where my charmer Iris breathe Shine on her flowers-scented path Where gentle air winnows Her silken tresses darkly flow. And fall upon her brow so fair Shine on Iris when she is here And guide this pilgrim to her. ============================ Sixth Placement Contest: Shining Star ============================= I taught A for Andromeda, a one-act play in late sixties.I have imagined Andromeda a star in the galaxy of the same name for my Charmer Iris. I am inspired right by the title Shining star. The Milky Way's nearest neighbor in space is the spiral galaxy, Andromeda. It was first seen by the naked eye in 964 by a Persian astronomer, Abd Al-Rahman Al Sufi, who believed it to be a small cloud. It was first seen by a telescope in 1612 by Simon Marius.
