* The Pleiades Star Cluster, also known as "The Seven Sisters", found in the constellation Taurus. *

Placed amidst the grandest glimmers Polished facets to shame the gods Patient sisters, cosmos' swimmers Portent of beauties, thus at odds Proved of Taurus, should they impart Piercing his keen but fervent heart Proud, they dance ... and heaven shimmers! ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Pleiades" Poetry Contest, Joseph May, Sponsor. Kudos to Craig Tigerman for the wonderful form. Syllables checked at HowManySyllables.com.
