Mercury in Cancer
It’s where the planet
stations retrograde
and just like clock-
work, it cannot
be removed.
A little chaos never hurt.
Thoughts will snap,
snafus will come
out of their shells.
The conditions
are perfect
to be crabby.

Oh I love this! The crab references throughout work so well, what a piece!
Clever poem- great sound words!
Tabitha – Astrologist to poets everywhere! Love this!
I love some word play!
Oh Gosh, is that what’s going on? Yes, I feel it!
My favorite astrologer/poet/gardener/cheese witch never disappoints!
Awww, thanks.
We’re still in Gemini Season.
Mercury goes Retrograde June 23-July 26, I believe.
Clever ending!
Tabitha, I enjoyed your poem.
Perfectly perfect 😂 : “The conditions/are perfect/to be crabby.
A fun poem on a stormy Tuesday to lift the spirit and dissipate the crabbiness.
I love the sounds of “snafus will come/out of their shells.”
