*~ Poppycock ~*-

 

 

 

 

 

It was the Year of the Rooster, October 1969
and another deep thinker emerged into the Light.

Born into a Sacred bubble Angels breached,
popped prematurely so military fledgling
allowed to spread limbs and live minus cuffs
with altered attitude about society evolving.

Sunshine and sunflowers are cradled but not
everybody's cup of tea tolerated for Spirit lived
alone still emotionally stable in Elysium garden
while other roosters rocked back and forth
on fringe of danger as I prefered to befriend nature.

Every creature quality on wheel, breathed in brevity
without seeing myself as selfish just mentally unique
like a fingerprint on the paranormal plane,
opposite of what the Zodiac may have thought.

Zodiac: Rooster

(So it says...)

People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented.
They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others.
They always think they are right and usually are!
They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid.
Rooster peopleˇ¦s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low.
They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave.
They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon.

    I like your take on the Chinese Zodiac... It seemed to tie everything together. It was great how you described what the "rooster people" are like in your poem!

    Good luck in the contest!

    Beautiful write, Desire. You have captured this well, though I wouldn't completely know. I'm an ox in the chinese zodiac. My mom always jokes that I'm going to knock her down, you know, like a charging ox. lol.
    Anyway, wonderful write and I liked the way you began this piece. It set a theme right away and seemed to take a person back to a journey of the past. Good luck in the contest.

    This is fantastic!!! I have never been much into zodiac's, but find that sometimes lately, I am beginning to wonder more and more on it. For a lot of different reasons.

    Now this is just amazing, and the background is marvelous!!!

    Best of luck in this contest!!!

    and love

    excellent!

    Your words express your inner and outer personality, and emotions, so well. You are a deep thinker, and being eccentric is wonderful!!!! I was born in the year of the Dragon, and I am much like you in many ways. No wonder we are friends.

    Good luck in the contest!! This is a for all to behold.

    Bravo

    You have written a lovely piece that both shows the Zodiac sign for Rooster, but also applied it to your inner self.

    Love your title and

    Love the last stanzaas well,

    "mentally unique
    like a fingerprint on the paranormal plane,"

    Yep, this is the sweet soul known as Desire

    Well Penned

    Wish you the best in the contest!
