Wow Debbie, this kind of has a gothic sound to it and I really like where you took this card in your poem. Best in the contest!

I will have to check what the Tower card is all about. Your take is something that I can interpret in my own way....it is quite possible to fall from favour with a mighty thud; we should keep our feet to the ground...avoiding pride and haughtiness. // paul

It's interesting to see what card people chose to write on. I love the last two lines of this one and its meaning.
