Aries Birthed By Cancer

Aggressive pursuit for what I desire Reigned in by none, my sign burns of fire Instinctually drawn to lead, not follow Eager to conquer, my pride I can't swallow Savoring life with every breadth of my being Bold thinking, quick to impress Intelligent, witty....anger makes me quick to digress Relishing spontaneity as I live for a moment Thinking independently...If I think it, I own it Head strong and innovative Equally, though, sensitive Defensive of those I love Behind this Rams exterior are some traits of another Your intimate soul is connected to mother Crab claws offset ram horns, cradling care Aware of feelings...deftly aware Never melancholy, emotionally charged Caleidascope of color, mood range enlarged Ever evolving state of being Relating to others, empathetic eyes seeing Inspired by Danielle White's 'Acrostic Astology' contest!!

Excellent job Steve, from a fellow fire sign, as I am a Leo. I have known several Aries folk and you captured them well, great people. I love the dimension you added here, blending that of your mom's sign and showing the relationship, really clever! Good luck in the contest and thanks for your kind comments on my poetry. :) Love, Amy

Nice expanded slant on the contest topic. Good luck! Interesting use of imagery. I like the way your fused the relationship between mother and son in your poem. Thank you for your kind comment. Keep on writing! Karen
