Andromeda,
Chained lady
Beckoning from galaxies
Teasing the Hunter Orion
Star.
Bootes
Sees her beckon
Unhoods Aquila fast
Argo-like he sails across space
Soaring!
Auriga
Hitching Comets
Calls Sagittarius forth
Anger that he misses
Charioteer
Cetus
Sullen monster
Corona Australis
Reticulum thrown unwisely
Failing
Canis
Hunting dogs
Leaps across galaxies
Baying at the moons
Carnivores!
Stary
Borealis
Pities the Chained Lady
Shifts Heavens to shield her virtue
Protects.

I liked the first and last ones the best: Andromeda teasing Orion and the Borealis shielding the Chained Lady. Nice personification.

Thank you, Frank! I did a number of these Cosmos cinquains a while ago…and forgot about them. Thank you for reading, Frank.
