The Zodiac Sign Cancer

Contributed by Elizabeth_Dandy on Sunday, 29th June 2003 @ 07:05:00 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



Moon-ruled
June 22- July 22

Cancer-Crayfish or Babylonian Turtle

The Crab, - Homebody celestial-
The Quality (in charge) is Cardinal
Crab-shellfish are of Water's Element
With dreamy and romantic temperament.

As children of the silvery planet Moon
When love-sick frogs in tribute croak and croon
Intensity and deep emotions swell
And they retreat at once into their shell

Protective of the rib-cage and the heart
Crabs shut the shell to ward off hurt and smart
And shield emotions' tender fragile seat
And make in prudence for a quick retreat.

Their outside cover, is an armor,- yet
Protect small toddlers and they will not let
Come harm and hurt to them, but tenderly
Shield them from mishaps and adversity.

A Crab that put her mark on history
The beauteous and gracious Princess Dee.
The People's Princess to us all so dear
Who shines now bright in a celestial sphere.

Crabs' Energy is feminine - the YIN
Their Flower, - Water lily or Jasmine
The pearl both the Gem and pedigree
Their Color: lunar g ray and silvery.

Intuitive are Crabs - compassionate,
But moody they can be and obfuscate
And in affection's thrill may nearly swoon
Their legendary source of moods, - the Moon

Called "Turtles" once, in ancient Babylon
They ran the yearly "Turtle Marathon"
And after running round the city's towers
Were feasted in king Hammurabi's bowers

The king picked out the turtle-crab Elite-
And checked capacities for skill and speed,
This Marathon was feasted every year
And its performance filled the town with cheer.

But this was long ago, crabs run no more
They have no Marathon on our shore,-
I do believe this state of things is sad-
But then the competition here is great

I tell the gentle crabs I wish them well,-
I'm a friend, and they can drop their shell
Then I continue on the beach my way
And say good-bye!, I have no more to say..


Best Wishes to all Cancerians!

What a very cleverly written poem! I am very impressed. Are you going to write about all the signs? I'll keep a look-out for Aries (grins).

Thanks a lot dear friend for commenting.
If you want "Aries" you will have to wait a while it's passed already.
Next (end of July LEO is the due sun-sign.
But of course in the interim, I can always post Aries for you. Just for you, although it is not due.
OK?
Thanks
Elizabeth

Thanks dear friend for commenting. So glad you liked it and are moreover a cnacerian.
LEO is next on the calender, end of July-August.
However, at the request of a reader, an Aries,
I post Aries next.
The LEO is lots of fun to read (composed for my brother, and how it fits him..
Thanks!
Elizabeth

Hi dear friend!

I submit ARIES right now because it is in March- too long a wait.
The next sun-sign comes up end of July-August, the Leo.

But, for you - I post the Ram (Aries).
Yes, I write a poem on all sun signs.
Cheers!

Elizabeth

Hi Shari!

Of course the Libra is going to come in October.
But first the beloved LEO- end of July-August.
Meanwhile I posted Aries, although he is now long passed. But a reader wanted it posted.

Thanks a lot for the kind comments.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs
Elizabeth

Thank you Young Poet for commenting with such kind words.
Yes, the LEO will be going up at the due date (end of July-August)
Meanwhile I posted - retroactively "Aries" for the benefit or an Aries reader, but Aries is already past.
So look forward to the LEO,
Thanks again,!
Have a great Day

Elizabeth
