Aquarius

At times I am spontaneous Quick to respond with wit and charm Undaunted seeker of perfection Afraid of causing pain or harm. Romantic traits are not neglected Imagination serves me well Uranus powers my existence. Safe are your secrets: I won’t tell! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Star Sign Acrostic Poetry Contest Sponsored by Charlotte Puddifoot © 30th March 2021

Hello Paul. It was your title that made me turn and open the entry. Your worked flowed which is so difficult to do with this format so take a bow on that. As an aquarian I very much enjoyed your intake and choice of words. May this day find you well.

Pls do excuse my late reply, Lisa. What a coincidence...Earlier I read one of your poems and I also commented that your title drew me in to it!! I am glad that as a fellow Aquarian you agree with what I wrote :) Thank you ~ Regards // paul

Sounds a lot like myself (and I'm a Leo). This reads smooth as silk and very accurately describes yourself as I've come to know you over the years. No pain or harm ... but encouragement. Always thoughtful with your words and subtle in its meaning.

My late husband was an Aquarious. In addition to the lovely traits you mention, Aquarians tend to be very smart. More geniuses are born under this sign than any other. You, dear friend, have the perfect balance of heart and soul. Best wishes in the contest! Have a blessed Easter. I'll be with my sister. Hugs, Carolyn
