Slipping Upon a Crescent Moon

C antankerous and chimerical - comingle with my childlike charms. A morous and antagonistic - angel wings melt within my arms. N urturing and nostalgic - as I cradle one's frangible needs. C aress my curvaceous chasms - when shared confusion slowly bleeds. E ver evasive, always enticing - my heart may tease you; yet not tempt. R eminiscent and roseate - dancing with dreams not yet dreamt. Author's Note: Cancer - June 29th 19.... Sorry, my computer froze.

Beautiful acrostic John! Cancer people are wonderful, I know many of them, and they are warm-hearted and amazing folks. I am a Leo but my rising sign is Cancer, and my sister is a Cancer, and several friends I have too! You penned a lovely acrostic, good luck in the contest and thanks so much for the kind congrats on "Invisible." :) Love, Amy
