Lionsgate

Star of Sirus
                                      Sparkling brightest
                                      Aligns with the sun in Leo
                                      Night darkest night
                                      All year she’ll await
                                      Bright star so bright
                                      On August eight
                                      Dog days of summer
                                      Rising on the horizon
                                      Nile flood
                                      Taking life away
                                      Lyon hungers for blood
                                      Devouring his prey
                                      Gatekeeper’s trust
                                      Opens the portal
                                      Shades of deepest orange
                                      Evoking energy
                                      Open your heart mortal
                                      Flames of fire scorching
                                      The doorway closes in 
                                      Mid-August 
                                      Energy in abundance
                                      The lion doesn’t hesitate
                                      Leo the Lion
                                      The fire sign
                                      Courage and pride soar
                                      The lions gate
                                      Confirming presence 
                                      Intentions roar
                                      Dominance 
                                      Eastern sky
                                      Opportunity awaits
                                      August eighth
                                      Leo’s alliance to the star Sirus
                                      Opening Lionsgate
                                      Sun is in Leo
                                      Enter the higher dimensions 
                                      Layers of energy peaks
                                      Opportunist the lion does not hesitate
                                      Enter the Lionsgate at own risk

Oh wow, I definitely love this piece so much, being a fellow fire sign, Aries, the powerful vibes of this piece have really enchanted me.. Leo, the sign of August, has been so wonderfully portrayed in this impeccable piece with gorgeous poetic skills and subtle alliterative flow.. This held my eyes captivated throughout.. Brilliantly done! :)

A creative write. Love the pictures. I wonder about what Charlotte Puddifoot wrote. Maybe do another poem about this???? Not everything out there is good. Have a blessed great day.............

ah, you've written a poem on lionsgate! the new age movement promotes it as something positive, but it's actually an energy harvesting, and it opens a gateway for bad energies and entities to enter..this is well written, but i advise anyone to steer clear of lionsgate - i had a bad experience with it, and i know many others have too

In those two weeks a positive thing did happen to my dear partner, a non-fiction piece was published with my help. But Charlotte until I read your "August" I never heard of Lionsgate. Thank you for the inspiration as a Leo I was compelled to write about it. I'll do more research on that. Sorry you had and others had bad experience's, a brilliant acrostic! Only good vibes your way :)

I was just thinking about the song Aquarius,and how to incorporate it into the poem as a contrast!! when the moon is in the... When the moon is in the seventh house And Jupiter aligns with mars..quite the opposite of LEO and the sun! ;)

Eve, it's a work in progress, so far a stream of consciousness, ha. August will soon end. Are you a Leo as well? My mother still scolds me for being born on the hottest day of the year!
