Idk why but I got Scorpio vibes from this piece! Maybe it's the October eclipse but these 2 lines: Curling dust upward, Saturn turning. Cursing lunar plumes.

Love how you're pushing the boundaries of your creativity and the way you play with language. This line though: i’m so sorry my love, i didn’t mean to cut off your head, i just needed something for dinner to serve, because you told me i’m here to serve men. SO GOOD! Reminds me of the Artemisia Gentileschi's painting, Judith slaying Holofernes.

Hehe I love this comment, thank you so much Joscelyne! You always have the most wonderful feedback. I can feel the Scorpio energy too, I have a lot of placements in the 8th house so maybe that’s why haha.

Thank you so much, it’s really fun to play with language in a new way, I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

Haha I love that line too! Oooh I just looked up the painting and definitely!! Thank you for always being here with your artistic insights ❤️🌹

Jennae, this is so stunning and I feel both the power and reclamation in your words! Absolutely love the Aries x Scorpio x 8H vibes in your words and the pictures, and of course, one of our favourite quotes from Sylvia Plath! “oh darling, i’d certainly be a weed. Because it sounds like so much fun, to be a nuisance in a garden that tells you you’re not good enough.” This is everything! I want to put it on a t-shirt and let it be one of my life’s guiding principles

🙈Thank you!!! I heard someone yesterday say “when they go low, i go to hell” and I laughed thinking “that’s my troublemaker poem!! 😂” It was so empowering to write. I love the idea of grabbing the labels others try to stick on us and twirling them around our finger with a smile before placing them on our head as a crown.

I love that this is receiving a lot of reflections about Scorpio and the 8th house as well as Aries. It makes me want to explore these aspects of my chart further.

I definitely had to include the Sylvia Plath quote!! It just felt so right.

Oh my gosh!! We definitely need this on a t-shirt 💯

Thank you so much for reading and reflecting!! I appreciate you so much and it’s such a joy to have your words return ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

That’s such an amazing capture of the essence of your poem!! Love it! And yes, there’s always a time when the Scorpio and 8H aspects of our chart start calling to us to look under those layers we haven’t looked at before. I always felt the fire element in your chart would be an important spark that moves the air and water placements into their next level expression. So much to explore here. And thank you my dear friend, I’m so happy to be back here sharing my responses to your beautiful words too <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much Mike!! This feedback is so appreciated!! I love that you found it terrifying 😈 hahaha. I promise I’m actually nice.

I'm quite sure that you are, haha. On the other hand, all desire is for a little mystery. If we knew exactly what we were chasing after, it wouldn't be worth getting. We like to be surprised. And we surprise ourselves. Herein lies the fun of poetry, and you dished out alluring shock in spades. Loved all the assonance and rhythm too. And your reading!
