I am Pisces, but not.
I was due on
February 29
but decided to
take my time.
Still a fish,
but really?
My mirror
doesn’t show
depth
imagination
overcautious
unselfish
gullible
(well, that one’s true).
I wonder if my
non-appearance
on that lost day
made me lose my way.
Or if this fish-ness
is just so much hooey.
A very unique and charming interpretation of the prompt, this poem was a delight to read :D
ReplyDeletewow I liked this thoughtful take on this photo
ReplyDeleteSo many questions
never to be answered...
very nice
I like all the seriousness leading up to the word hooey. Most interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!!
ReplyDeletea fun take on the prompt...i am a leo and many hold true but still i wonder. nice magpie!
ReplyDeleteWhat difference does one day make in the grand scheme of things? Then again, what if I missed being an Aquarius?
ReplyDeleteHello, Pisces. Sometimes I wonder how much of these things are shaped in our minds, living up to expectations. But me, I am SO SO LEO.
ReplyDeleteVery well done..and even a lost day/gained day still leaves you as a Pisces..but more/ or less...thanks!!
ReplyDeleteCute poem, Bug! So when is your real birth date? Is it still in the Pieces time frame? Love the word "hooey". They're always using it in all the old 40s movies.
ReplyDeleteMarch 3 - I was only 3 days late, so, yes, still a Pisces. I wonder if I should have said Leap Day instead of February 29th?
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a Pisces. Its fun think about how things might have been if we were born at a differet time...
ReplyDeleteYou? Not have depth? or imagination? or ????? Now that's hooey!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Great take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteYou were due on Leap Day? Wow. That's cool.
ReplyDeleteI am a Picies through and through, although I've never heard gullible as a descriptor. I'll have to take your word on that (ha).
ReplyDeleteLoved the first line, it was the perfect intro, to set the tone.
ReplyDeletePS: For what it's worth, I'm a Capricorn. :)
