A Sonnet for the
Order of the Eastern Star

Written October 9, 2006
by Owen Lorion, husband of
Worthy Matron Brenda Watson

Hail the Glory of the Eastern Star,
All give hail from near and far!
Honor give to its sisters five,
Choicest of women then alive
Adah Ruth Esther; Martha, Electa,
Each one chosen to be an exemplar;
Assigned a color, a brilliant hue
For the lesson taught that is her due.
Red green white, yellow and blue
Symbols of fidelity, loyal and true;
The pentagram, the five-pointed star,
shines out to the world what you are:
A light in the East, a banner unfurled,
Making a difference, changing the world!

This poem is an exceptional example of chiasma, the use of reversal in poetry. It opens with what the world should do for the OES, and closes with what the OES should do for the world. The women are listed in chronological order, the colors in reverse order. The star points represent the women, the women's colors represent the star points.
