Mythical

Mythical Greek characters can be seen in the sky Orion, the giant huntsman, draws back his bow The constellation Cygnus, is said to be Zeus in disguise Draco, the dragon appears in the big Dipper's glow The Romans gave us Luna, she lights up the night Her glow spins stories of passsion and romance The constellation Hercules, shines its bright light In the west or the east you may see Venus by chance Aquarius, the water bearer, inspired a song Perseus, who slew Medusa, is seen on high His wife, princess Andromeda, is among the celestial throng As Pegasus, who carried thunder for Zeus, spread his wings to fly! 3-17-2023 Writing Challenge - 'M' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
