There's an increase in description and depth. I don't think I've ever seen the Scorpio constellation, but now I'd like to. Well written, thanks for sharing these poems with us.D.G.

I scheduled my post to go up on the first day, but it has taken me some time to get around to visiting everybody. You are the last and it appears I saved the best for last.<br /><br />I love both poems and find it hard to believe they were each written so long ago. Great depth of understanding and a beautiful take on the the constellations.<br /><br /><br />So glad you entered amid the many other things you have going on right now. Thanks for a great ending to a really fun challenge, my friend.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-76697997217442552012016-10-24T00:31:24.276-05:002016-10-24T00:31:24.276-05:00Both beautiful, in different ways.

And Scorpio, with its reflections on finiteness and the promise of an eternal dance, is haunting.

You had such talent even as a child and your talent has grown with the years. I particularly loved this stanza from your second poem:<br /><br />I am reminded of my finiteness,<br />of numbered days,<br />but know it is not too late<br />to relate<br />the thoughts and feelings locked deep within the heart.<br />Hope your book tour is going great and your sales are going gangbusters.<br /><br />Lovely having you participate in WEP again!<br /><br />Denise :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-82508018301882099922016-10-20T17:52:54.420-05:002016-10-20T17:52:54.420-05:00Love both poems!
