Gail Carson Levine challenged her blog readers to write a free verse poem about their horoscope for the day. Here's my offering:
It's not popular anymore to accept advice,
like it's a weakness,
like the offeror must be overbearing, out of touch, offensive.
Even after asking, I have to take a breath,
open my mind,
sift through their words and translate them into my voice.
Help comes,
financial, practical, emotional,
even intuition, maybe.
Complexities become clear
if I am willing to receive.
