Moi! Inviting all DU members to participate in this competition.
I plan to write a poem for this. Though do you have a link for that zodiac profile sign, and by extension a link to somewhere with all the zodiacs done in that way. Would seem a rather good basis for poems to be entered in this competition.

VIRGO
Universal unicorns flew past the moon
And starlight fell upon the grounds
Mercury smiled, as the fairy godmother
Knelt down to offer her earth child
The grains of knowledge
To carry the wisdom
In the palms of her hands
She was to be shaped as a human
Her journey began
As Vulcanus blew the winds in motion
She crossed the lands
To gather the seeds
Summer turned to autumn
The wheel of time stood still
Wingless angels gave her flight
As she was granted
Her birthright
Universal unicorns flew past the moon
And starlight fell upon the grounds
Mercury smiled, as the fairy godmother
Knelt down to offer her earth child
The grains of knowledge
To carry the wisdom
In the palms of her hands
She was to be shaped as a human
Her journey began
As Vulcanus blew the winds in motion
She crossed the lands
To gather the seeds
Summer turned to autumn
The wheel of time stood still
Wingless angels gave her flight
As she was granted
Her birthright
The15thLiberalLibra
Rebirth of an art, a queer to Creation
Initiated co-Designer with God
My whole beign, a nib of Perception
view of all, I'll sketch your feelings and thoughts
I'm Purpose driven
patience is my resuscitative drink
I'm Tenacious, I'll never give in
The royal blood's scepter till I'm enthroned king.
I'm a seed planted in an Ideal world of zodiac; I germinated on the 15th of Libra, sprouting up like the promised star, a compass for leaders.
Unlike the tested and failed regimes, my Reign is; Reliable,
Easy-going,
Warm-hearted,
Impartial, Generous and Practical,
Hence, a letter to my princess.
Dear Amor,
You know how my love flows, like oceans of Romance and Fun. I promise to love you even more and shower you with springs of Comfort.
I'm sorry about my Sentiments, and for my Jealousy it's only a way of protecting my darling angel from the peril of snuggle heads. I promise to be Disciplined and be more Social with everyone.
Yours Sek.
If I were a Liberian, I would have been a perfect Liberal Libra, but nothing is perfect.
So I'll be open to more social reforms but I'll Reserve my comments on beliefs and Ideologies.....

A Peek at a Pisces
A peek at a Pisces
is what you would like
but the Piscean people are the most mysterious
so a brief dip in and out will have to do.
I am a Pisces
And how bitter and sweet such a thing is
ever-elaborate is this mutable mystery.
I change with the tides
And live with the lows
And live with the highs,
I have a wit for wonder
And a wondrous wit
Give me a rhyme and I’ll make it flow
Though my true self is hardly on show.
I am not a man made of stone
And can feel deeply
a rare man indeed,
But rarer still is a man looking for love
Looking for purpose, for reason
Always searching for something
For a heart to call home and thereof.
I swim in the deeps
and do detest the shallows
but the depths can crush
and dark things lurk there
so a little light air goes a long way.
I live in the last house it seems,
So a little bit trickles in
From all along the line
To make a being that is a bit of it all
But only wishes for some
Yet can seem like nothing at times.
So it is simple really,
If you peek at a Pisces
And beneath their scales
You will see some tails
And learn some tales,
While they are looking in and out.

Capricorn
Surefooted mountain climber,
avoiding harmful pitfalls which others create,
I walk the cliffs lonely with steady gait.
I don’t allow fairies to sit on my nose
because I don’t believe their flighty tales.
My horns are sharp, my bleat is too at times
but my smile is strong and white.
I love to consume grasses of wonder and flowers of truth
and my persistence in search for such brings me to my needs.
It’s not often my voice is heard
as I observe life from a distance,
but be assured:
The heart of a Capricorn, though oft clouded with sadness,
is a secure place, big enough to embrace
the most rugged of hope’s steep horizons
and the most pure of Edelweiss dreams.
Note: Being a practical goat,
I am not inclined to believe in astrology either. lol.

THE FIRST BORN CHILD
http://images.picturesdepot.com/photo/v/virgo-22998.gif
Tears of joy rolled down my mother’s cheeks
as the cry of her first born child was heard.
Heavenly bodies also rejoiced
with dazzling display of fireworks
and thundering claps, echoing…
on that September morning
when cracked fields were filled
with free falling rain, splattering.
Nature lover and down to earth—
just like any Virgo
always attracted to bodies of water,
music lover as well.
Nature’s symphony
is music for my lonely soul,
as poetry is food
for my weary mind.
Born with an analytical creative mind,
artistic, optimistic and talented,
always the pride and joy
of lovingly dedicated parents.
Have seen darkness from within,
committed an act of sin,
have crossed the valley of fear
where angels dare to tread,
but have seen light
through the darkness pit.
Riding the tide of fame and fortune
sidetracked, fell on the thorny side;
stood up and came back up
believing in second chances.

- Born of Fire -
All this is: me!
What doth it mean to be an Aries on the cusp of Pisces?
Born of fire, tempered by water, both in ideal harmony,
Like yang and yin, all furies in balance and whole bliss!
Even those words are not enough to convey the entirety,
Of what it means to be as I, and to walk my long path…
As I exist embodying passion and compassion together.
There are oft the times, when I feel old fire and wrath…
But they always pass, like the flutter of an angel feather.
My will is strong, my ideals lofty and sometimes grand,
Beyond the scope of my means to comprehend the whole!
My thoughts oft are too big to hold in even a titan’s hand,
But they are mine, and so I embrace them hotly and cold.
With both raw feeling and icy logic I try to know as I may,
Even things unknowable to many, for I hath many a gift…
To puzzle out the things which the gods attempt to convey.
My heart is ever aflame, its’ fire divine and able to uplift,
Those whose hearts call to mine own with earnest need!
I never refuse even one, for I am passionate in caring too.
In sacrifice for others I am tireless even should I to bleed,
And I will try always to make loved ones’ dreams true…
With whatever magic and power is mine own to enchant.
A smile can make me to hunger for something far more,
Embracing, kissing, until I sweat, and cry out, and pant!
For, passion is the fuel that blazes hotly within my core.
Born I was in the way I am, and it is quite unchanging!
Unique and different, dancing to music of my making…
Ever creating, forming from fresh clay and rearranging.
Breathing life into all I touch, never fleeing nor quaking,
But remaining steadfast for the sake of my noblest goals.
It matters less in whose image I was fashioned and then,
Whether it be a soothing heaven or a hell’s hottest coals…
Or a god beyond all who bade my spirit to be back when:
Than how I act and what I teach, and all that I can give!
Life is a precious gift, and the giver is most blest in turn,
When from our being’s bounty we help others to so live.
To exist in ways more perfect, for which all folk yearn!
Though an Aries can be stubborn when it is called for…
The passivity of the Pisces in me helps to temper, such.
Yang and yin, embodying all and yearning for far more,
Crafting from chaos until what is built consists of much!
One like unto myself holds great burdens to their breast,
But only we can bear it, for we were made to be thusly.
To ease difficult times, we live with a truly insane zest,
Born from my inner child who loves to dance with glee.
All this is: me!
