IE, this is a perfect graphic design and delivers a horoscope in the best fashion I have ever seen. Really wonderful...my goodness you could be a reader with a studio or have a newspaper column (when there were newspapers)! Smiles of course....at least while the moon cycles to new. Take care!

How creative Anaya, layout and poem all impeccably done, I am impressed with your skater’s agility too! Couple of fun facts it’s thought that it rains Diamonds on Saturn itself, and has 146 moons. What a place to propose lol, a brilliant entry all the best for contest, cheers David

Impressive facts! Diamonds? Saturn diamond rings, priceless. I knew about countless moons, I take hikes down Nasa's avenue's for good research, trekking through it all. Now there's a thought, could be why my protagonist did a double axel when purposed to. TY, David you are too kind to me, Cheers!

What a cool shape poem! And the little stars add a nice touch. This skater is performing axels, backflips and other neat stuff out there in the cosmos. Sara should like this bad girl

There he is! my encouraging poet, with cheery comments. I see you have the right spelling for axel, damn it, I had the other axle ha, fixed. Cartwheel's, I grew up skating at the May Co. Mall Ice Rink and no, never a backflip or cartwheel, backward bends or lays there called. Anyway, Ty you made my day cheery.

Hey I left a reply comment to "One Existential Frost" - hope that clears things up for you. :) And I love seeing this poem of yours again, also <3

For this one contest, any form is acceptable, poetess. A new contest of shape form 'only' just popped up, another poet mentioned I should enter, think I might. :) coincidence! TY

A bravura, cosmically tuned and vibrantly penned delight. Your last line is particularly evocative of our current topsy-turvy political climate. Once again you outdid yourself with your stunning design! Faving, Robert

Saturn is nothing but a hot gas, which is pretty much what Politian's give down here, Anaya. Cheers!

Thank you, the last line was in regard to the blind minds that skate on thin ice in a new strange place, it's skate or die! The skate terms came in handy (death spiral, axel). It maybe all we can do is to welcome these chaotic new challenges, hoping all will see with eyes wide open! It's always a warm day when you visit and encourage me~

Good to see you, Jay! Shape poems are a time-consuming project and take the mind off, in this case, off into space! lol. Ty for commenting and support!

Ty, Dilly! Ok, sounds good to me. It was a fun experiment. Saturn's the best planet for shapes & logos etc. Like Lise says, I'm staying put! lol. Triple crown! Love it :)

Pisces is a mutable water sign, known for its openness, compassion, and intuition — traits that Saturn could use to soften its rigidity.Ty you sweetie for commenting!
