Poetry
By TheRoz81
As one should probably deduce from reading the collection name, this collection will consist of nothing but horoscopes. Okay, so it will consist of poems, the majority of which can be found in my book, "Seasons Come, People Grow," but they'll also include several I've written just recently. They cover a vast array of topics, from love to loss to politics to religion to addiction and beyond.

A Rat in a Cage (a poem from my book, Seasons Come, People Grow)

A Temporary Vegetative State
A sudden fear comes over me, A knot forms in my stomach, My eyes then close, As I know what’s coming, A head sensation unlike the rest, Fear being prevalent, Thoughts seemingly slow down,

Against All Odds
