Dot To Dot

A dot to dot for all to see
Rotating across the world
Everyone see's it differently
Depends which way you're twirled
You can play even in slippers

I connect Orion to his belt
Trace a mighty Leo's mane
Draw Hercules with his pelt
Then I'm interrupted by a plane
Right through Hydra's flippers

Link the horns to Taurus
And Pegasus to his wings
A shell for Delphinus porpoise
Few more lines in Lyra's harp strings
and Cancer's pinching clippers

My favourite dots to connect
In any constellation
Are the made up ones, I suspect
From my starry imagination
(plus, I can never find the dippers)

I can see you outside in your slippers detailing constellations, even your own. Congratulations, Hat, on 2nd place in my contest!
