Introspective and sentimental. My sign is Leo the Lion, which although I think is cool, I consider myself more timid than fierce. Haha. I see a little tinge of your sarcastic nature in this. Cool poem.

It does make a difference Suz. I have three little Scorpios and they all have inventive minds. I would say your creativity comes from both Libra and Scorpio! I enjoyed this!

Works beautifully, and love the last line. Great Acrostic, Suzanne, from a Capricorn (sign of the grouchy drunk) Viv x

Hi ViV: Nice to hear from you. I have had my brother in town and staying here. No time to be introspective ha ha, I can't imagine you being grouchy or drunk...lol SuZ

I usually HATE this form but this one is so smooth and connected you scarcely notice it. I could never pull it off. Great job!

I'm Libra too, Oct 7th. Have about six opals. I also have a set of scales. I like the way you worded this. :)

Thanks Debbie: Amazing. I can often tell weight and time without clocks or scales. I come from an opal hearted country so it is internal and eternal for me. Love, SuZ

I like how you went with humor!! So ARE you calm and mellow? I am! Libra is my "ascending" zodiac sign. I am mainly Virgo/Taurus!
