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!!

Amy Swanson Date: 3/2/2009 8:35:00 AM 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 Login to Reply
