Dear Betty,
This poem is sheer magic! The Seven Sisters are a celebration of life and Nature. I love this poem for the wonderful way in which you've described all the fun activities sisters do and the everyday things they bond over. The read becomes even more amazing with the lovely imagery you use throughout the poem. I will always remember this read because you reminded me of my own sister with whom I used to be blissed and happy and giggling just the way you described here. Long, long ago. Thank you for this poem.

Very creative, touching each season with care and fun and the ever-watchful evening skies. Seven sisters, those chased by Orion across the universe. I love the thought of them watching the seasons change, giggling and huddling together for warmth. Really nicely crafted betty and a fun read.
A good piece about nature...
Hope those seven sisters keep on blooming.
Nature is so beautiful in all it's forms.
Nicely done. Great poem, enjoyed reading it.
Keep it up! Take good care Betty.

So wonderfully you explained the beauty of nature with example of sister's in an unique way. Yes each of them are different I your own surrealist way! Great one B ~

This is a beautiful poem using sister as a way to talk about the season and how they hibernate, sprout grow then wither and again hibernate until the sun is warm and flourishing
The flower and the pumpkins are a great way to show the changing of the seasons as well as them huddling together to stay warm from the snow.

Thank you PB for a lovely review, and a thorough understanding of the poem….

Ahh, I have heard of the six sisters myth, which goes along the lines that they were chased into the sky and became a constellation, which ties up into so many cities myths of being built on six hills, but seven sisters is a new one to me at least.
But nice to know that old Ma Naturehas some help in her latter years as keeping up with all the messes we make must have her near enough bald from tearing out her hair at our own selfishness.
I would not like to be the guy who causes the next oil spill with seven of them to contend with....and I can assure you, it will be a guy! 😃

Betty, you have a unique way of making solidity gently inviting, of creating charm out of distant apparitions; - creating truth out of reality and welcoming it on behalf of dull eyes and minds.
Each of your stanzas is visual and more but there is something about..
'They giggle with each other
as spring beckons
with buds of wild flowers
coating their voluptuous figures
and green sprouts enveloping their bonnets'
We have similar but not the same here, the seven sisters cliffs in Sussex. They chalk their way along a distance that takes the breath away. Must research yours.. this One aims to learn something new every day, methinks have learned two!

We have the three sisters in the blue mountains just three monoliths of rock and vegetation standing out, weathered by time. Somewhat immortal but time will catch up with them. Entertaining write Betty.
My love of poetry results from my love of art. As a painter I am able to express myself on a canvas. As a poet my words come from my heart, my moods, sometimes sad, mostly upbeat. I like to use vivid .. more..
