Wheel of Fortune

My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you?

How to Read the Tarot

Begin by brewing a cup of tea,
a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile,
this is after all, your future.
A reading at the dark of the moon is best,
before the night creatures crawl
and bad humours fill the air.
Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif,
and no reversals.
Hold a question in your heart,
shuffle the cards and place them on the table.
Choose only two.
Like the ancient Israelites,
these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm,
black and white, yes or no.
Isn't that all you were asking?

I don't take walks. I should. They help.

And now Uncle Milty... the Big Blowhard.

Be safe.

he wraps himself with stiff winds and lightning
his flightpath wobbly weedy
his eye small and beady

I love the title and every word of the poem. You paint a picture that is universal for those of us who have reached an age where we are comfortable in our skin.

I was going to mirror what Kare wrote. It makes a great shape by just centering the poem.

at the start, and

at the end and voila! I am enjoying your poetry this evening. ~tracker

I absolutely love this! The theme and wonderful attitude are great. It's worthy of it's own item and would be a great entry for a contest. It has too much rhyme for Shadows&Light. Perhaps Poetic Traditions as I see you've mentioned the wrapped refrain form. Where did I see that mentioned? Was it a contest? I've been overwhelmed with contests.

Center and then work on line length until a shape appears. I'm not happy with the results. Mixing up fonts and size may help. But making it resemble a Ukrainian Easter egg would be lots of work.

Womyn

We
began as an egg
carried in a dark warm
womb all our grandmothers
singing stories to all the eggs
we carry within from birth trembling
prophets, whispered prayers along
life's zigzag road moon mind
dreams all connected by
ancient threads

Ah... childhood. A long long time ago. But I still stop to smell the peonies. The mock orange is in full bloom and today the skies are friendly.

I forget if I don't take the time.
