Silver starlit stings tonight
seven sisters rise to greet
skies of fall, escaping rain;
softly humming lullabies,
see them revel, dancing
sultry sirens stir, but where
sulks she, their lost Merope?

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Just lovely – your poem has a light dancing touch that goes so well with the Pleiades and love the sprinkling of alliteration too
Your sultry sisters have a sparkle to them, Björn and, like mine, they are humming lullabies.
Beautiful! Wow!
Wow! So breathtaking.
You aced the prompt, even mentioning the lost sister. I enjoyed the lightness and joy in the piece.
The photo you chose shows the stars dancing. Nicely done.
Beautiful, Bjorn: you’ve managed to tell a story, and also make it scan and woven in some lovely half rhyme and assonance. I just couldn’t get there with this one. But I enjoyed yours!
Oh, delightful – so lyrical.
I nearly titled my poem Sisters. Okay so now i have to research Merope
Happy Tuesday Björn
Much🖤love
How beautifully expressed! A lyrical tour de force, Bjorn. I enjoyed it very much.
This is cool Bjorn. You addressed the prompt, and the missing sister.
The whispers of the s-sounds are beautiful when read aloud. And a lovely rhythm too. (K)
Oh, delightful and rhythmic!
This one feels lyrical, the dancing fits in perfectly. Perhaps, the sister slipped away to sing her own song.
I especially like the idea of stars humming lullabies 🙂
Spotlessly clean and the lost sister is not forgotten
Hank
Beautiful!
Ha I almost gave up writing my own it’s a tough form for me, you’ve done it real justice sir :))
Where indeed? A poem with a meaning and a question. Good one.
Very nicely done!
That is really a sweet poem about that lost sister in the sky.
Nice rendering of the myth. I like the image of them humming lullabies and then dancing and singing.
