Homebody
She may have clumsy feet and a tiny little head,
but wherever turtle goes she always takes her bed.
Though she travels slow, she never need be scared,
with a fortress on her back and her motto, “Be Prepared!”
Planet Earth: Co-ruler of Taurus
Froggy’s Poem
Every tree blesses me
And I, in turn, thank every tree.
Planet Venus: Co-ruler of Taurus
Pocket Venus
Small grey falcon, so demure, compact, tidy, self-assured, sweet composure undisturbed, a pocket-Venus of a bird
More lovely still upon my nearing, tiny flat head so endearing, patterned feathers grey-on-grey. She truly takes my breath away.
Genteel, modest, perfect poised, so engaging, wants to please. She visits me from random trees, bearing love notes on the breeze.
She stole my heart when first observed, truly precious, favorite bird. So deserving of that word, she had me at, ” Hello!”
Reliable, Pliable Worms
by Celia Warren from her book, Don’t Poke a Worm ’til it Wriggles
Worms are dependable, stretchy and bendable, always extendable, garden befriendable, completely commendable:
GIVE THAT WORM A MEDAL!
Taurus’ motto is, “I HAVE”.
No one appreciates the gifts of Mother Earth or understands the value of what she “has” better than little Porky, the hedgehog.
Her character is the penultimate expression of Taurus energy.
