My mom has ailments making it hard for her to clean.
She’s never been a great housekeeper anyway.
She’s got two cats and a dog, but two of my kids
have allergies, so at Mom’s house it’s hard for us to stay!
She’s always been obsessed with food and counting calories.
I’ve listened to her all my life; she loves to talk about
her diets and what’s good to eat (what a know-it-all).
But as with anything she likes, she always goes all out!
She used to love to decorate for holidays.
All her Christmas clutter– for Heaven’s sake!
Each Halloween, animated toys she would buy.
Like a child, she loves the creepy sounds they make.
She loves to have a lot of fun. When we were young,
she’d take us to the drive-in, or videos we’d rent.
She’d drag us into thrift shops (and still she’s pretty cheap).
Just so she could get laps in, to pools we often went.
Both Virgos, we’re sensible and love to read and write.
We think alike. Though we're outspoken, she’s the calmer one.
She’s still teaching part-time, so I don’t see her much,
but if her help I need, I know she’ll get it done.

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.

Vitality is brimming; also diplomatic -with a smile that is winning,
I’m logical and grounded, for I am Zodiac’s maiden - married to the earth.
Relaxation Virgos crave; with such nervous energy, we tend to worry,
Grappling with decisions – always keeping busy; but we also like to clean?
Oh, my, that part is not ME. However, quite the Virgo, I love practicality.

Star angels, dance within the quartered, light,
Of lunars rise, the age of Virgos' flight,
Sense its need for virtuous surrender,
And abandon Dragon's breathing thunder,
Phasing anew splits the night horizon,
For the course exposed to half, has brightened,
Some dynamic tempo, magically,
Whereto, the expanse defies gravity,
Ventures beyond dusk and stretches for dawn,
Greets the vested midst the foes, thereupon,
Enters Pegasus who stomps and stresses,
North Star alights as hooved clouds releases,
Whilst spread wings flick and cast flight, Pegasus,
Then heralds the advent of Genesis.

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.

In years gone past, as thunder rode a stark and blackened sky
in Thor’s abode lived Valkyrie’s, women such as I.
Virtuous, valiant, shield maidens, brought victors on high
Virgo’s, surely, sisters all, who ordered those who died.
Judges true of pure intent whose honor none belied
for all of life seeks order, if chaos would be denied.
An independent nature every Virgo’s does maintain
with thoughts of selfless causes and the shunning of acclaim.
With fire and fidelity your Virgo’s never tame
but, you can trust a Virgo’s, a Valkyrie all the same…
