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?
