Tongue-in-cheek look at astrology
When I saw the July 1st prompt for Sunday Scribblings was “what’s your sign?” …I thought it was a real hoot – gave me a chuckle.
I have no opinion of astrology beyond my consideration of it as a fun and fascinating parlor game. So, I decided to get a personal astrological reading [...]

fanning in soft wisps your graceful neck.
Eyes linger on eager bud of tender breast,
pause, entranced [...]
