CANCER

Caring and giving, a sign of the zodiaC
Ask us if we worry, we will definitely say yeA
Never turning our backs, to friends we are never trueR
Collectively we are mostly love bugs, at least I know that is I
Expressing our feelings is what we do, at times heated and out of turN
Reclaiming our peaceful nature, as we always do, feeling out heartstrings tuG

I don't know if it done correctly but I do know that "Cancer Caring" stands out as it should and in your verse alone it shows and in my opinion you have done quite well. Lovely piece and I say you met the challenge

Wow a double acrostic, a difficult task, but you made it look easy. Actually, this was my challenge and you met it so very well! I would have to say that Cancer, Taurus and Pisces are my favourite signs (well besides my own of Virgo)

Every Cancer that I have met is so patient, understanding and gentle and make great friends and if they are lovers they are so loyal - I love them, although Cancers seem to be overemotional and insecure, is that true for you? Thank you for answering my challenge and going the extra mile!

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Melissa - Oh yes..lol. I am definately over emotional ~chuckles~ And insecure fits me to a T. I am 100% cancer..

My mom is a virgo as well and your poem described her perfectly ( I know I didn;t leave a response.. but I will

) Thank you for stopping in to take a look
