Notice of absence from HannahElisabeth
Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.
Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.
Often
I’ve been told
I have a heart of gold
And gold
As luck would have it
Takes a nuclear reaction
Or a mix of nitric
And hydrochloric acid
To be destroyed
Darling,
Try though as you might
We never did have the chemistry
Too weak to wield that power
Forged in the fire of your fury
You only made me stronger
– You seem to forget, fire is my element –

- Comment from author about the poem: Just a silly throw-away poem that plays around with chemistry and being a fire sign. Take what you will from astrology, but I'm a Leo baby and always did love playing with fire...

Another one down done and dusted. As a bloke (guy) should I start to feel slightly…. Nah I don’t think so – the process as described here is too entertaining.
An adherent of science and an astrology believer? I know – folks are capable of holding completely contradictory ideas simultaneously……… 😊
Lol I wouldn't necessarily say a believer in astrology, it's more so that I love the ferocity that comes with being a "Leo". And as a cat person, I just really love lions.
That said, “the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function” according to F. Scott Fitzgerald...
Not sure how much I can vouch for my functionality though 😛
LeversoL In that case the world must be overflowing with first rate minds. Not to worry - I doubt I'll be reading The Great Gatsby anyway..
Looking forward to your next male demolition job..... Should I invest in a fire extinguisher........?
Yeah, I wouldn't waste your time on Gatsby, it's all quite over dramatic...
As for the fire extinguisher though, I would definitely recommend 🤣
A fine write H.
I'm not into Leo, Pisces, etc though!
I am Aquarius the water-bearer. I bear the water when folk chuck buckets of it over me, for hearing me sing! lol.
To be completely honest, I'm really not that much either
My generation just really loves zodiac signs, and apparently I'm "too sassy not to be a fire sign" so I've just accepted my fate lol.
You had me giggling at the buckets of water though, keep on singing anyway 🙂
Oops, maybe don't be Leo. You might be too 'catty'?! lol.
some choose to dissolve gold
some choose to disown their pain...
your words and poetry, the water
your regret and pain, soon to be
dissolved, matter in your poetic ether
of belief: in A 'better'
that must surely, exist...
Aquaregia, royal water of purification: indeed!
(thank you for allowing me to witness
the brilliance of your poetic mind
I look forward to reading and learning
from your unquestionable talent, dear Poet)
Thank you for reading and taking the time to respond with a lovely poem back, you are far too kind!
