Notes About The Poem

Darkside of Aquarius Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori 

Galactic Gossip

Beneath the stars, a glittery haze,
A cosmic queen in her celestial daze. 
She told me, "Darling, can't you tell?
This is just your fabulous destiny, spelled!"

She pulled out cards, all shimmery and bright,
And whispered secrets, bathed in moonlit light.
"The stars align, the moon's a rosy hue,"
(I just wanted to find my favorite shoe!)

"The Darkside of Aquarius, honey, calls,
Prepare for shopping sprees and velvet falls!
Your spirit, sweetie, is quite entwined,"
(With a perfectly matched handbag I can't find!)

She spoke of eras, crushes, and such strife,
As I just hoped for a drama-free life.
"A spiritual and sparkly, fated art!"
(I'd rather scroll through TikTok, bless my heart!)

I checked my phone, a little sigh,
And caught a twinkle in her eye.
"You'll find your truth; you'll feel the glow!"
"Okay, but can we get some froyo, though?"

The prophecy, a grand design,
Turned out to be just a good time.
The Darkside of Aquarius? Pfft!
Just my bestie suggesting a spontaneous road trip!

Wow. Am I ever totally out of it these days. I had no idea what 'bestie' was, let alone 'froyo.' ... Well, thanks for the education, Jami. ~ Luddite M.Y. Birthright
