Ode To the Sisters

Oh, you goddesses ~ pretty Pleiades of stars Shinning above in distant blue merriment's glee Sisters adorn the sky as nightly jewels of ours To grace the Titan Atlas ~ his daughters carefree Stunning as their mother Pleione ~ gathered still We look upon their light with hearts of divine thrill Alas, the God of hunt ~ the giant Orion In love he fell, with sisters all, upon their meet Pursued them daily like a mountain lion Till Zeus did change his girls to doves ~ they fly so sweet To sky up high they went to be a part of Bull You see but six as one became a comet, full We celebrate the story of their beauty fair When dance and song and poetry expressed our loves To keep our daughters safe from Gods, we do beware Or see them fly from you like early morning doves Rejoice each night when seen their joyous glitter smiles Together they are ~ our sisters in all our trials 7-03-2020 A Contest About a Goddess or God - Not THE God' Contest Info Sponsor Caren Krutsinger 1st Place

Jeanne, this is delightful with a unique creativeness! I didn't know the legend of the Pleiades. It is beautiful. I have always loved that constellation on Orion's belt. On a cold winter night I will look up for my celestial sisters. Congratulations on your first place win.
