year of the snake -non-poem

2013 in the Asian zodiac is the year of the snake.
The zodiac is a twelve year cycle with each year
governed by an animal.
Asians accept the zodiac in about the same way
Americans and Europeans accept the western zodiac.
Some strongly believe it, some find it somewhat
interesting, and some don’t bother with it at all.
One big influence the zodiac has had, is in the
various arts.  It often is the theme, metaphor or
subject for graphic, written and performing arts.

someone born in a year of the snake --
charming   mysterious
       passionate      proud    serene   and vain
reads  enjoys music, delicious food and the theater
contemplative and private
       sophisticated and cultured
keen and intelligent
       even tempered

a year of good omens
