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 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 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
poems are made by fools like me
storytellers create potions
on the road fashioned out of dreams
out of time and mind solutions
and fostering revolutions
conjoining heart and head and hand
an ascending absolution
raise your voice, sing loud, take a stand
