Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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!
