Chinese Astrology Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Chinese Astrology

Rating: 5.0


Me hanging from
a snow coloured tree

you throwing snowball
after snowball

& (! hee! hee!)
missing me.

I telling you that I
(in Chinese Astrology)

am a
Monkey!

You laugh
smoke steaming out
of your nostrils

tell me
(in Chinese Astrology)

you’re a
Dragon.

See across the wet field of snow
footprints left in time

a laughing Dragon being given
a piggyback
by a cheery cheeky Monkey.

Stars
(a twinkle in their eye)

smile down

on the you & me
of it all.

You see everywhere signs of love - lucky you! - astrological signs become easily involved into the lovely romance. Very well penned as always.
