Book description
Scorpios, ever wondered what the Sun-signs tell you about love and
life?This unique anthology of poems for love and life relates directly
to your Sun-sign, Scorpio. If you were born between the 24th of October
and the 22nd of November, you will relate to many of the themes
identified with your sign s characteristics and personality traits. The
poems in this collection have been chosen because they reflect a Scorpio
attitude to life. They appeal to the interests  ruled by your sign;
the animals, flowers, trees, plants and places celebrated by the poets
and associated with the sign of Scorpio over three thousand years of
traditional astrology. Some have been chosen simply because we believe
you will enjoy them, and that they will awaken or re-awaken your love of
poetry. Heralding from England, Derek and Julia Parker were married at
