I believe the ability to write poetry is a talent, and the ability to
write good, meaningful poetry is a mega-talent, much like art or music,
that can lead to international awards and much acclaim ... although
don't hold your breath for a lot of money ... acclaim will likely have
to suffice.
Your poem is both good and meaningful to me. Therefore I would grant
you "Mega Poet" status.
Keep in mind however that I have no color vision so art isn't one of my
talents. I always stood next to John in the conference room when we
were singing Happy Birthday to some colleague ... John by happenstance,
used the same note to sing with as I did, thus music is sort of out of
the scheme of things too. My college roommate and I used to write the
"we want to change our order" notes to the guy who delivered milk to us
in poetry. He finally asked us to just tell him. Apparently, I have no
talents.
Hmmm ... "the guy who delivered milk to us" ... giving away my age, no?
