Just like her star sign born
She is filled with such might
Even when tired and worn
Never one to give up the fight
When she is down and torn
Making sure others are alright
As never is she one to morn
And never one to losing sight
Just like the early mor'n
Making all shine so bright
Because of course she's dawn
Know"n as the princess of light!
There once was a hyena
Whose name was Katrina
She laughed a lot
And gave the lions much rot
Of late we just haven’t seen her.
Her best friend was Deborah
A fleet of foot zebra
Who looked like a horse
But wasn’t of course
Her star sign was said to be Libra.
Then there was Mark
A burrowing aardvark
Who came out at night
And easily took fright
Because he was scared of the dark.
And lastly there’s Peter
The overweight cheetah
Who couldn’t catch prey
But just sat there all day
Curled up in front of the heater.
Checked up on my star sign.
Cardinal sign, it says.
Can’t wait to get things done;
Cautious financially;
Could be considered mean.
Cancer was my partner.
Could not last the distance.
Scorpio the star sign
Sincere but be careful
Scorpio’s are jealous
So you better beware
Scorpions will sting you
Swinging tails of anger
Sensitive and loving
Lilian, a Libra,
Looking for lasting love,
Liked Les and luckily
Leo was his star sign
Looked good until his wife
Laughed at the suggestion
Lilian? Still a spinster
I am looking for a new place to begin again, to start fresh.
It seems I am always looking for such a place,
even when I am okay with where I'm at now.
Others tell me ‘what you seek is within’ and ‘no place will make you happy unless you are content with yourself’.
However, I feel it’s within my nature to want to begin again, and begin again once more.
Like a writer turning over a page, writing a new chapter,
I am looking for a new place to begin, a new story awaits and an exciting next adventure will be written.
I am forever the mountain goat climbing, like my star sign, the Capricorn,
I am stubborn, determined and desperate to succeed.
If not in this place, I will keep climbing until I am there,
wherever there is.
You see, I am looking for a new place to begin.
Gemini
the twins
mercurial
creative
wildly enthusiastic
my identical twin and I
both dancing to our own flutes
born in May
living up to our star sign
in opposite directions
your Cinderella act renowned
rolled the years
friendly relations strained
Your star sign estranged
pity donned your smile
making me a stranger in your room
Rainclouds ascendent
mere words never enough

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
Once a little goat with a small horn,
Wanted to become a unicorn,
She wished and she wished every night
And prayed and prayed, it might
Come true, I want to wish on a star,
So the next night they saw one far,
But although so bright
Gave off little light.
Look mummy at that grass over there,
Please don’t stare,
For they might run away, fairies
Right next to the bush with berries
I’m going to send them a whisper
Mummy kissed her, ooh your whisker
Tickles mummy, suddenly three
Fairies flew by her side what do you
Wish for most, as you are of the few
That never asks, whatever you wish,
I want to be a unicorn, please
They waved their wands with ease,
There stood the prettiest pink unicorn,
Gone was the small horn,
Replaced by a twirly one,
The little goat girl now an awesome unicorn,
Her star sign remained Capricorn.
She had a fluffy mane
And her eyes were blue, insane.
Oh fairies I love you so much
Your wands and their magic touch,
What can I do for you.
and you and you,
Listen to your parents and be a good girl,
And thus your mane will always curl!

Lips lustered with Venus-enchantment flirt as
Imagineer steers your swoon to the Moon on a love song..
Beyond oneness with another, the lover and artiste
Relishes color in counterpoise to white rising light, and so flows
Abstracts across a sunrise canvas to laud a treaty ‘tween night and day

Virgo
Virginis incorruptus*, like Georgie's ax, we cannot lie,
Instinctive Leo in descent positioned Libra's meant vie,
Reliable, efficient, rational, and passive ally,
Grossly stubborn and sarcastic, calculating by and by,
Overthinkers, worrywart...best and worst, we identify.

LIBRA
Loyal and true, a friend who will be there and will always care
Inspired by nature, who is creative with talent and flair
Building on dreams, perhaps so long ago left behind
Romantic, passionate, gentle, sweet, and kind
Always seeks to keep peace, never to malign

Affectionate and loving I am
Quiet to strangers, chatterbox to close friends
Unconventional at heart
A very loyal friend
Require freedom to do what I wish
Independent and innovative
Unique perspective on life
Sometimes, I may appear to be stubborn

Selflessly loyal to those I love but stubborn to a fault
Creating poetry, paintings, and artistic projects I exalt
Once touched by love, my heart is totally devoted
Resolved to honesty; intolerant of being misquoted
Perplexing, emotional, quite mysterious, and although
I am a water sign, I don't always swim with the flow
Opinionated but my sentiments, I hesitate to bestow
