Zodiac In Retrospect Poem by Grace Diane Jessen

What a wonderful sonnet about astrology! I've always thought people who lived their lives by astrology were idiots.

Reading this poem again, I am just blown away! So much truth in so few words! How foolish people are who think that the stars guide their paths in life! We all live by our own choices, not fate or predestination.

A wonderful sonnet, professionally done and much too good to be posting here on Poem Hunter. You should have saved it for the next contest. When I first saw the title. I thought maybe you were writing about the Zodiac killer who terrified California back in the late sixties and early seventies, and who was never caught. My brother lived in California at the time and had a friend who was on the California Highway Patrol. One of the main suspects was known to both of them, and they always tried to get a fingerprint sample from him, but the man always wore gloves. One day, they finally came up with some ruse that worked, and got the guy to take off his gloves to handle a glass. However, when they sent the glass to the lab, there wasn't a single fingerprint on it!
