cassiopeia shines bright in her heavenly disgrace
and the scorpion hunts luminous orion
as the moon and the sun rise and they all fade
finnally i have a reason to cry
for the stars to make me sad and happy
and for the stars of casiopia to tinkle like somany bells
i've created lines to tie me to earth
they are being snapped in one fell swoop
by a savage bird time has created
but remember to those who've tamed me
you are reasponsible forever for all you tame

excellent
One of my favourite stars – look out for the daughter Adromeda and the nebulae – the furthest you can see with the naked eye. -
thank you, i'd worried that that poem was too obscure to really be understandable, i'd been reading the little prince by st. Exupery, and looking at the stars too much

excellent
This is a great poem. Neko6 is right, the alst line brings it all together. -
don't touch it!
the last line makes it all fall together.
