Dear Lions,
Please keep standing strong in our world with so much wrong.
Keep your senses alert to fair and foul, especially when out there
on the prowl, for not every foe is going to growl..
Get out there with you're confident stride, don't wallow in hurts
and petty pride, a genuine heart can turn any tide.

There is no rhyme or reason to what is happening in the Zodiac.
I understand the confusion, having orchestrated the flex myself
Many astrological signs are irritated and consternated, annoyed even.
They are not air signs, so do not understand the full beauty
Of shaking things, up and dancing naked in the moon for no reason
There is a levity waking up the cancers, who are the most irritated
Leos try to take over, wanting things to be changed their way
Virgos are horrified, being ardent rule-followers
Taurus tries to bully everyone, which makes the Aquarians laugh.
Other signs come by to visit but do not stay, being more passive and fearful.

There are many Leos in my life
With August birthday dates.
We sang to Hadley for today,
Her 5th she celebrates.
On Saturday, my husband’s day,
He’ll say he’s 53,
Just like he’s done for many years,
But that’s okay with me.
My favorite aunt turns 92
On Tuesday of next week.
This year we cannot visit but,
Like every day, we’ll speak.
A cousin and a nephew also
Share the Leo sign,
As well as 2 close buddies,
Dear and precious friends of mine.
I’m not a fan of horoscopes
But still, I must admit,
These Leos, with my Aries,
Seem to be a perfect fit.

Lots of Leos in my life –
Astrologers believe
That certain signs with others
Symbiosis do achieve.
My husband is a Leo
And his birthday is today.
We’d celebrate regardless of
The Zodiac’s okay.
But the stars are in alignment
For this Leo and this Aries
Have shared many celebrations,
Never once as adversaries!

Fire
Dramatic much? One would think you were
the flame of Passion.
Shall I re-introduce you so that you can make
your entrance again?!
In your flashy clothes, that you
wisk down your runway, whoosh.
Are you gonna tell it once more, how the fuel feeds.
Your ego, burnt offerings consuming everything.
Burning the midnight oil,
by tripping the light-fantastic.
Shining. Me! I am the quest you seek and also the Bard
that shines light on the tail, the tale and your tailor.
Don't throw a hissy if you burn in the pit, out of prides-
travails.
Although the lines have blurred.
(Leos. Don't stare too long or hard.)
(You may get blinded by a dance of the seven veils)
( I love Leos. My Momma was a Leo, my main pride)

Cry red tears
Cry girl; cry mom
Cry G; cry you...
An ocean flow
A river flows...
Water falls and streams
Lakes and valleys,
Blue and we all too...
From the sky to the bottomless pit
Seas so blue...
I can't see anything else!
Cry O cry!
It's sad hey...
Choosing the chosen one,
Purged to none
A setback a for-cry
A lame act, sentenced to death!
A scary life...from mortal combats
To annual events and endless nights,
Fried fishes: many cats and dinned by Virgo's;
Eaten by Leos; spread by cancers!
God bless the Gemini's and love the Scorpios,
A dark hour- a blue period,
The age of the Aquarius: the war of the stars
And the resurrection of the ancient ones,
Dark nights, no light...
Endless days: falling suns and burning stars
No mortals just "carnivores-and-cannibals"
Re-painting green walls with reds,
Blue strokes and broken truths
Mommies singing hymns,
Fathers blowing the trumpets of death,
A sad dream a twisted vision
The curse of seeking: now altering reality,

Aries must learn danger with their own toddler test.
Taurus grasp emotions from the feel in their chest.
Geminis wish for words hearers clearly digest.
Cancers thrive in a neat, loving family nest.
Leos strive to lead infused with praise about their best.
Virgos shelve their dreams for duties that sternly pest.
Libras view couple love as perfect life's peak crest.
Scorpios forget naught, hiding all in mind's vest.
Sag needs outdoor adventure per their soul’s request.
Capricorns need for perfection is not a jest.
Aquarians hear their own drum and march with zest.
Pisces bear any news without shock or unrest.

My life is filled with Leos;
Astronomically, that sign
Is described, if you believe it,
As compatible with mine.
Several people quite beloved
Have their birthdays in that range
Which, although I am a skeptic,
Doesn't really seem too strange.
So this Aries sends out wishes
To the Leos who await
Late July and most of August
For their chance to celebrate.

Mom hated Wednesdays but I don't remember why.
Sadly, it was on a Wednesday when she died.
My Granddad also died on a Wednesday and that was very sad.
My Grandmother bragged because she was going to receive $10,000 because of his death and that made me mad.
Me, Mom and Granddad were all Leos, we were born in August and July.
It hurt me when Granddad passed away and when my poor mom died.
It's been painful since Mom passed away.
It's a fact that she hated Wednesdays.
(Dedicated to Agnes and Burley Johnson who passed away on March 6, 2013 and August 3, 1994.)

Leo a zodiac sign
Lion King of jungle
Forget empire, many Leos homeless
Truly, its just a sign !
Leader, snobbish, extrovert
centre of circle, clever, dedicated
But many Leos biting dust in practical world
Truly, its just a sign !
Jungles are shrinking
Lion specie is in danger
Yeah many a Leos dying for survival
Truly, its just a sign !
Lions are in cages, amusement safaris
Leos trapped in wordly maze, gaze the cage from outside
As if human Leo sympathising jungle Lion
Truly, its just a sign !
Have anyone heard the real roar ?
Well fed zoo lions are fed up of roaring
haven't tasted live blood, Leos blood sucked
Truly, its just a sign !

In the PixiS climb to Hydra
Lynx is next just past the Lion
Take a dip into Ursas Major
Come and ride the Leos Minor
It’s a Primer she said…
Reading wheels inside your head
Stacking stones into pyramids
Merry goes round the ecliptic
Latitudes of a Long time cryptic
Marching two and fro…
Is it Zero or is it Nero
Inquiring our minds to know
