The Broken Tower card in many decks is The Tower. It is the sixteenth Major Arcana card. The Broken Tower depiction is more closely compared to the ancient tarot card. There are many interpretations. I am reviewing the illustration and poem you have here.

Overall Impression: This is an accurate depiction of the Broken Tower card. It is literally a broken tower. It is said the tower door is the door to hell which is why it comes after the Devil in the deck.

The illustration: You captured the essence of this card in the perfect way it should be represented. A tower that is broken. The figures on the right and left have been interpreted as possibly Adam and Eve. I like the way you have them on separate sides leaning back as if to repulse the damage. The background appears to be outside on a moonlit night. You have a kind of arching possible half dome on it which gives the illusion it is covered leading to a questionable destination below ground. This is a very good one matching the story.

The poem: The interpretation of the story is right on. It is kind of a turn of the face care up being good, and card facing upside down the opposite. It follows a distinct poetic meter.

I did not detect and errors in composition. That is always welcome for the reader.

Another great page, Shepard. I was wondering if you wrote these in chronological order or skipped around. The further I read, the more solid are the results. Moving on to number seventeen tonight.
