Isitolo and Steven seven matariki stars poem
Seven handsome brothers were once so cool,
Going out hunting for some food
They met seven evil ladies who treated them like fools
Each brother so handsome and bold
Took their ladies under their fold
Sharing their love with each evil witch
Little did they know they were being bewitched.
The brothers were changed to skin and bone,
They were once strong and very toned.
Mitai knew something was wrong
So off to the ladies he did roam.
Up on the branches he did see,
There six fantails were waiting patiently,
The last fantail flew near by,
Mitai transformed into a kereru,
To find out what the witches were up too.
He followed the fantail to the Ngongotaha
And watched and listened to their ka ka
Off he ran to warn his brothers
To tell them all about the drama’s
His koro gave the brothers a special net
To capture the ladies just like some pest
Mitai transform into a albatross
And carried them away just like a boss
Into the heaven he decided to toss
The evil women who caused a fuss!
And there they sit during the night
The Eyes of God,
seven eyes so bright!
The Seven Stars of
Matariki
