PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In memory of my father

(Feb. 27, 1916 - Jan. 21, 2007)



Ariens plunge right in, never thinking,

Always tempting fate, never blinking

At catastrophes that lie ahead,



While most Taureans stay in bed,

Lazing comfortably in their homes

And admiring things they own.



Restless Gemini flit about,

Always changing and going out,

As they gossip of this and that,

Changing lovers at the drop of a hat.



Cancers never want to let go

Of past lovers of long ago,

Always brooding, sulking and moping,

In their endless dreaming and hoping.



Leos constantly crave attention,

Overburdened with sexual tension

And their past indiscretions in bed,

Which they later come to regret.



Virgos endlessly worry and fret,

Nagging, carping and insecure,

Finding nothing that's clean or pure.



Libras always look for concessions,

No matter what the transgression,

Always keeping their passions at bay --

No wonder they seem so gay.



It takes Scorpios to let you know

The true sting of a vengeful blow--

No matter how hard you try--

You will not get away with a lie.



Saggitarians seek higher ground,

As they aimlessly wander around

Through this globe in search of truth

With their sense of eternal youth.



Capricornians labor through trials

With self-discipline and self-denial

To advance to the mountain heights--

Harsh and solitary is their plight.



Odd Aquarians find true meaning

In humanity's new beginning--

Not to judge our sisters and brothers

As we wake up to love one another.



Pisceans learn that the earthly sphere

Is a dream, just a cosmic veneer,

As they see with their higher sight

The soul's journey into the night.
