Our Galaxy (Constanza)

Luminescence reigns down on me Trajectories will hit and miss What lies within the vast abyss The stars that form our galaxy Amazing from their birth to death Such brilliant sights can take your breath Cosmic debris just floating free Apophis, a collision course An asteroid feels no remorse Torino scale, the chance will be Predictions aren't always right Ponder what's in the Hubble's sight Astronomers just wait to see Then warn us of impending fate Perhaps then it will be too late The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as an independent poem, with the rest of the poem weaved in to express a deeper meaning. The first lines convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme together. Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f.........etc.
