the poet's zodiac

I've finally reached the point where I've completed slightly more than half of the poet's zodiac series.  While last year brought the spring and summer sections, I skipped over fall and went straight to winter, mostly because I was feeling in quite a bleak, wintery mood before the holidays and it seemed appropriate.  As such, the poems are a little darker, no matter the sign and I realized when I posted one of the remaining new summer ones on instagram, what a difference a season makes.

Truthfully, I've been circling the drain the past couple of months and trying to keep myself afloat, but I'm still writing, so I guess that's good. It does not help that we've been slapped with a polar vortex and a load of snow on the ground and these are always the hardest months for me.   Still, even though its full of longing, the capricorn one I posted today was a brighter spot in what these poems are becoming...enjoy...
