What Was It They Said About Aries? Poem by Mark Heathcote

It was said they're ready to act be spontaneous
be bold and brave and quite courageous.
They've no fear of heights, whatever the altitude
they've got a devil-may-care sort of attitude.

All's said and done - I can get quite angry
I can get easily bored and instantly fiery.
It's said in love they're immediately aware.
Also, their moods are mercurial up in the air.

It's said they fall in love quickly, "I say why wait"
if it feels right in your gut, guy's "don't hesitate."
It's said too that everything's a game they can win.
Yes, I'm passionate - loose I'm a bit tragedienne.

But I'm open to discussion, willing to-comprise
so we're impulsive and tend not to apologize-
and if you didn't know, well-we're-ruled by Mars.
And if you're unawares, Mars is the god of war.

Also, know we're risk-takers who'll take on a dare—
hot-headed and impatient. "That's me, to be fair."
Sure, we've got a bluntness of tongue, makes us direct.
But emotionally, we're generous in retrospect.
