Seven stars of matariki poem.

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!
