Libra


from the ABC set Conversation With My Thirteen-Year-Old Self

I clash with proud Leo
and bullish Taurus
on a daily basis,
but find comfort
with dear Virgo
and patient Pisces.
Only cautious Capricorn
can make me lose my balance.

librans being balanced isn't always the case, although people often think that's how we are

So you're a fellow Libran then, insert? Thanks for reading ;)

And me, though I share the doubt about always being balanced! Not being exactly Kate Moss, I have always thought it damn unfair that I got the Sign with the scales...

Enjoyed the poem!

Thank you Margharita :) I've always been annoyed that my sign was the only inanimate object!

I nejoyed this poem,but it depends
what end of the month one is born,then
it doesn't always mean horoscopes true all.
I am Virgo a sensitive personality,hubby is
Scorpio means sting in there tail.and daughter
yes, is as you say very in charge.My sister is
Virgo more like a Taurus.Mother was Libra Scales
of justice always thought Scorpio.So on.
all the best

Hello Julie :) Yes, I know what you mean - people don't always fit their horoscopes. Although a friend of mine found an astrology book where the entry on Libra described me perfectly!

...And I'm a Leo;-)

No clashes, I hope; certainly not over this poem. Much enjoyed.

Incidentally, I have only known one Libran before and she was a librarian, which fitted her exactly;-)

Very well explained and a
good poem.Yes,have to admit
always read stars in paper every
day.And even once or twice paid for
a furtune teller,some nearly right
some wrong.But mind me saying,Bible says
do not meddle with spiritual things that
are not spiritual.Well cos;everyone believes
if it's money it will happen or anything?
Some find it a comforter.But what will be!
will be.Cause some are right.I agree with you.
Have a good week-end.
It's like we can't judge a book by it's cover
every story is different.But soem can be true.

A beautiful little poem. You always have your rhythm down so perfectly I want to read more and more and more, reading your work takes no effort at all.

MistakenMagic | June 22, 2010 - 13:46

Hello again, Julie! And you're definitely right with 'what will be, will be' - I am a big believer in fate ;)

Thank you so much, Maggy! And I have to say 'ditto' - I enjoy your work immensely!

I liked the metre and the way it sounds like an old-fashioned riddle - nicely done.

I'm Cancer for what it's worth but I'm not really into any of that and have no idea what I'm supposed to be like. So making it up as I go along (which someone I'm sure will end up saying is exactly what cancerians [or whatever the word is] do).

Thanks Rob - this is a lot shorter than what I usually write so I'm glad it still had impact! I'm not quite sure what the personality traits are of Cancer - but I'm sure there are a million websites out there that would be happy to tell you ;)

Hello Magic, I really enjoyed this poem! I have to admit to, like Julie, reading my star in the paper and online nearly everyday. I'm an Aries :) I like the rhythm, it flows so well.

Well done ;)

Thank you, Beeme! I do sometimes look at mine in magazines too ;)

new Julie says,our daughter was born in may
should have bee June early Taurus,but much more ways
are Gemini,but readings have to apply to thousands and thousands it doesn't.My dad once gave me a book
on horoscopes clever choose symbol like a crossword
so many down and across mostly right answers.I lean't
someone never got back.But sad,if it's not good news
or nice won't happen.So it's all taken with a pinch of salt really.Nan and her T Leaves and crstal ball,
and pop pysic,think spelt it right.I sometimes can choose horse at 100-1 may have done or not.Or names etc;if holy very special,or happenings win.Like telepathy and my favourite cat,poem "Green Eyes" and his name in it,nearly first 100-1 dropped to 50-1 came 2nd I got mine put £1 on each way.Sometimes one can write of to,and perhaps can say
things private,never say in life,draws it out and are
burn't.I wish I knew where my damn emails go to,or no
replies.If I just use computer for copy and send it of,not my address in.No reply by email.co;whatever.
Sun is shining.people's gardens and ours beautiful roses this year.And
we still have no Passion flowers out though,but Peonies, blossoms dropping now.Roses red and yellow and Camilia tree given us,bloomed this year?
have a good week-end.
