We are up to the seventeenth card in your deck of Tarot cards for children. I will review the illustration first and then the poem. As always, these are my opinions. You are free to take what you resonate with and dismiss the rest.

Illustration: This is a wonderful depiction of the card called The Star. It is in the Major Arcana appearing after the Broken Tower. The stars appear as symbols of faith and hope. I like the way the night sky has several stars. The young girl is beautiful. She appears to be calm with no signs of undue stress or insecurity.

Poem: The poem has consistent rhyming lines. The descriptive characteristics of comfort, love, and mercy equate to the hope represented by the star. I liked that there didn’t need to be contractions to fit words in the meter. My favorite line is the first, “Sweet daughter of the midnight sky.”

Suggestion: The story describes one star. Maybe one of the stars, possibly the one in the upper right that would be shining down on her, could be brighter.

At this stage of the fool’s journey, it was important for hope to show up. The recent ruins and despair were the fool’s burden. To get him focused on moving ahead, he needed a positive outlook that was the Star representing hope and faith. This card is very pleasing to look at. The poem paints a clear picture of the meaning of this Tarot card.

Thank you for writing the solid poem and drawing that match the situation the fool finds himself in. You are a gifted artist and poet.
