Five Sisters -Redone For Consistent Syllable Count

When we are together, we are a sight to see – Sisters!
Things always seem just right when I can have with me – sisters.

One named Jennifer is nurturing and compassionate.
She was born after me; compatible are we sisters.

Melanie, who came second, is most charming of us all.
She and I together always make such carefree sisters!

Then came Dori, with a flair for writing the same as me.
Fifty-page letters we'd write! Dori made us three sisters.

Sensitive Theadora loves working out like I do!
She's the baby! I'm glad the five of us can be sisters!

John Watt Date: 9/12/2020 9:01:00 PM Nice little family scrapbook in a ghazal poem. You write such nice things about your sisters. If Dori had been named Natalie or Susie, your birth order would be alphabetical order as well! Best wishes to you in the contest, my friend. Login to Reply
