Notes About The Poem

Virgo & Monarchs Watercolor by Anaya

Virgo Vibrations (DHR)

Calm is your nature so fair
O maiden of meticulous metaphor
like the white lilies in the garden, balms soft air,
amongst autumn’s signature rustling leaves
upon dried maples once green
In warm tones of terracotta her spirit roams free, 
on earth she manipulates the mariposa monarca 
butterfly migration in Michoacán’s fir forests, 
clusters color trees with golden orange tones
trimmed in black lace philigree 
skies are filled with beating wings
like a flurry of a rain's pitter-patter 
O butterfly if you flutter by, I’ve left you aster
for your returns refuel in my yearning yard

Tonantzin our venerable Mother, goddess virginius
 of virtue of vim and vigorous miss
Q3 keeper of chaos and order,
I’m forever thankful for your service ~

As one who has a rare, auspicious Virgo trident in the first house, I wholeheartedly approve, offer your poem accolades, appreciate, approve and applaud your poem's content. Truly unique and it definitely held my interest while I gave thanks my Sun is in Libra. (I thought you didn't 'talk' about these things and here you have drawn the Virgo symbol plus much more. Baffled a bit.) I have yet to land an approach for this contest, maybe I will, maybe I won't. BUT you did good. CayCay

A cultural perspective of autumn 🍂 as requested by DHR, using my Mexican heritage, although the Aztec calander very different in comparison, 20 day symbols. Unlike Western astrology, which divides the sky into spatial constellations, Mesoamerican astrology tracks cycles of time using a 260-day sacred calendar known as the Tonalpohualli (Aztec) Just this yr. I've incorporated the astrological signs & symbols so to recognize them finally. Astrology is about 4,000 to 5,000 yrs old, its earliest organized roots dating back to ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) around the 3rd or 2nd millennium BCE. I read. ♍️ its all so interesting. Yes salutations to your 🌞. Delighted to have your professional opinion, CayCay mi amiga ;D
