Hi Cass, I liked this wonderful free verse poem a lot. It tells us about your star sign and what it really stands for and how it contribute to who you are. I wish I had a six left. It is so very well written. Good luck in the contest. All the best. Ulla:)))

    Dear Ulla thank you for your review and the five stars. This piece was posted exactly as it first came to me.It flowed off my fingers and onto the page. Usually I trim and shape and switch verses around barely making the deadline. This time with just an hour to go I sat down and wrote and it all happened. . Yay!! Wouldn't it be good if writing was always that easy?? Then again?!! The mystery of sitting down and dragging those words protestingly from the recesses of one;s mind is something unique, isn't it? Well this time it was easy next time it might not be. cheers Cass

Excellent! I like the flow of words that cascade into each verse. I especially like the last line "As a Virgo I am a Raven,
A Sapphire, a flower, a day
The things of the Earth
That are Virgo's own
Are me and I am a Virgo."

I wish you the very best in the competition.

This speaks about Virgo, what makes a Virgo man, how important sign it is, and most of the plus points or attributes one finds in a Virgo personality; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

This biographical poem, I Am a Virgo, written in what I term as open verse, lists many attributes of the autumnal soul. Industrious, perceptive, and self-controlled are only a few of those qualities. Neat.

    Dear Bill, Thank you for your review and the five stars. This piece was written and posted without any corrections or alterations from the first words I wrote. It flowed so well it surprised me. Usually I do several re-writes and switch verses around until it is to my liking, but this time I simply wrote and posted it. Cheers Cass

This is excellent, Cass. As I may have told you I have studied astrology for years, even had clients and gave readings--one of my many interests. Loved your evaluation of your sign of Virgo. A fine sign, as you mention, industrious and focused. Much luck in the contest with this fine entry. Marilyn

    Dear Marilyn, Woohoo another thing we have in common. I studied astrology for years under Bonnie Mathes one of Sth. Aust's. foremost teachers. And gave readings and did horoscopes for people. I didn't charge a lot though, and it became onerous, so I quit. I still have my books plus a 21st Century ephemeris, which I treasure because my late son Heath bought it for me. The inscription on the front page is so sweet and tender, his special words to me, his Mum. The contest was a minor triumph with me being awarded a shared second place. Thank you for the review and the AWESOME SIX stars. Very generous and kind. cheers Cass

    Hi Cass. Wow! We have so much in common. My favorite type of readings were karmic astrology. Lessons to achieve and pitfalls to avoid. It got burdensome because most people aren't in attuned to the "long haul." They want to know if "so-and-so" will call them for a date. Hugs, Marilyn

Yep I know a few Virgos and yes they are very laid-back cool and not so easily moved by situations. And yes some a most attracted to nature or earthen objects. Thanks for sharing

    Dear Mary, Thank you for your review and the five stars. Virgos are usually very cool and calm, but if we get disturbed out of our quietness, LOOK OUT!! MY husband has worked out over 5 decades of wedded "bliss" that to calm me down after an upset all he has to do is start a conversation about the garden. Whether he's planing on pruning a tree or a vine, or perhaps I'll have asked him to do something for me garden oriented and he'll bring that up and talk about it. Works every time. Yes,as an Earth sign I am calmed by the Earth and all its fullness. Mother Nature rules cheers Cass

    how'd you like that word I made up, sounds scientiffical, huh.
reply by the author on 25-Jun-2018
    Astrologically speaking I am complimented beyond telling to have a NEW WORD made up just for me. I can't think of one to match it,so ten points to you. cheers Cass

A very well-written poem about your zodiac sign, the Virgo, someone who are strong and in control of emotions on who others can depend all the time when in need.

    Dear Sandra, Thank you for your review and the five stars. Yes, thank you you are right about the "being dependable". There's been many a wet shoulder after someone has cried upon it. Ah well that's what life is all about isn't it? cheers Cass
