Cool Cosmic Concert by Sharon Waller Knutson

Sister sun sings soul

like Aretha and Tina

and the sky blares

the blues like BB.

The moon mouths

the Bee Gees at the disco

as the North Star blinks

and the Little Bear boogies.

At the Constellation Calypso,

the hunting dogs, great

dog and lesser dog

bellow Belafonte.

Rocking to the rhythm,

the Big Dipper bops

and Polaris performs

like Holly as he hangs

onto the handle

of the Little Dipper

while the Great Bear

binges on beer at the bar.
