3 Birth Months That Really Love Both Poetry and Puppies

If you’ve ever watched a litter of puppies playing, crawling over one another, and spinning in circles trying to catch their tails, you know there’s a deep poetry in that.

Loving puppies shows you can be moved by sweet, innocent, vulnerable living things; loving poetry shows you can be moved by abstractions such as words and ideas.

Puppies give unconditional love, and a good poem shimmers with eternal beauty. Loving puppies shows a caring and nurturing side, while appreciating poetry shows verbal intelligence mixed with a boundless capacity for emotion. If you like both poetry and puppies, you are empathic in both the abstract (poetry) and material (puppy) sense. You are also verbally sharp enough to realize there are four “Ps” crammed into those two simple words. 

Some birth months lean more toward hard work, practicality, and social extroversion. But others are more emotional than logical, so they love poetry or puppies. Here are the three birth months who like poetry and puppies.

March

You are not the most emotional water sign (that would be July), but you are the only water sign that doesn’t protect your heart with a hard outer shell, so when something profound catches your eye, you are helpless under its power. The birth month’s natural-born dreamer, you are mesmerized by a beautifully crafted poem—whether it’s sad, euphoric, or even a trifle silly—that perfectly summarizes your feelings and holds your imagination spellbound. You are also a sucker for that goofy little puppy whose chubby paws clumsily stumbled into your lap, even if it was only to pee. You are a natural-born nurturer who hates confrontation, so rather than reprimanding the puppy, you’ll pick it up, hold it to your chest, and skillfully change your sweatpants all while singing a song you made up off the top of your head to the naughty puppy who just peed on your crotch. Until the puppy is toilet-trained, you will spend the next few months writing sonnets about how you forgive it for thoughtlessly urinating on you.

October

As an air sign, you are a master communicator. With Venus as your ruling planet, you are blessed with a rare fondness for beauty. The Scales are your symbol, which drives you to seek balance and harmony. These traits converge into an appreciation for a superbly crafted poem’s precision, elegance, and balance. But not only do you find beauty in grand concepts and abstract expressions of love, you also see it in the small things—such as that bat-eared and bug-eyed Boston Terrier pup who’s staring forlornly at you from inside the pet-show window. Wild horses couldn’t drag you away from that little cartoon canine, so you walk into the store, purchase the little rascal, and give it a poet’s name such as Percy, Shelley, or Lord Byron. And late that night when you’re snuggling with your new fur baby in bed, you’ll realize to your delight that there is no poem on Earth fully capable of describing the uniquely sweet-and-salty smell of a puppy’s breath.

February

Someone born in February loves anything that feels emotionally genuine, even if they pretend to be detached at first. You are naturally drawn to things that carry originality, emotion, and personality, which is exactly why both poetry and puppies completely win you over. You appreciate poetry because it allows people to say the things they usually keep hidden. Whether it’s a messy love poem scribbled in a notebook or a beautifully structured piece that captures heartbreak perfectly, you admire honesty wrapped in creativity. You are fascinated by the way a few carefully chosen words can completely shift someone’s mood or perspective. And puppies? You absolutely cannot resist them, even if you try to act calm about it. The moment a puppy runs toward you with zero thoughts in its head except excitement and love, your heart is basically finished. You pretend you’re “just saying hi,” but five minutes later you’re sitting on the floor baby-talking the dog like it’s known you your entire life.
