The Pleiades, is a cluster of stars identified by ancient atronomers, mentioned by Homer in about 750 B.C and Hesiod in about 700 B.C. Seven of the 12 stars are readily visible to the naked eye. The ancients named these stars the seven sisters: Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Electra, Maia, Merope, and Tygeta. The Pleiades poetic form is aptly named: the seven lines can be said to represent the seven sisters.
Listen to poem:
Plump with plums, rich and round,
Plum pudding is a delightful dessert.
Pleiades-like it's a constellation.
Perfectly poised fruit, nuts and spices.
Positioned within a rich, dark and moist cake,
Plunged in portly brandy butter sauce,
Proudly, it's a panorama of bliss, starburst.
