FRIDAY WRITINGS # 198 ....POETS AND STORY TELLERS UNITED


..



and when october goes
you'll be
another year older
another libran lovely
humming grace jones
and i've done it again
done it again
done it again


as a birthday present
give yourself a reality check
head out of the clouds
feet on the ground
frolic in the sunshine
for the short  time you have left
enjoy the helen sent petals


librans
enjoy the smiling delightful happy faces
performing this joyous music
enjoy the beautiful  weather
of your birth month 
enjoy it all

 
If music be the the food of love ,play on, give me excess of it provided that it is mutual.


FOR ALL THE LIBRAN POETS

It is said they carry golden hearts because they truly want to make life easier for others. Librans are fair kind and diplomatic often putting other people's happiness before their own. Their elegance and compassion allow them to spread peace in every relationship However they are not perfect and sometimes have been known to misquote Shakespeare using poetic license for their own ends :)




An afterthought.
some of you may not be familiar with the music of Grace Jones.
Voila !

  2. A worthy tribute to the Librans amongst us. Whether Spring or Autumn, South or North, a mellow time for both, Rall!
