Poem Title:
Poem
Year 1488 Daring to hide it in verses and score, Ursula Shipton predicted her scrolls would not be understood until years after her body’s release. Read aloud by an educated nephew, almost five decades after they were protected by a family of peace. She may have been burned at the stake for her predictions of America’s Civil War, simply for being a she. Her prophesies included horseless carriages, and men’s future unfathomable plans to conquer both the sky and the sea. Understanding that a metallic monster, would change education, and the menfolk from farms would flee. Pictures that feel alive – computers, U-tube, I-pads, video and their predecessor – TV? Mother predicted all this and more. Daring to hide it in verses and score, Nostradamus had protection of patrons, medical background, sublime. Ursula Shipton knew her predictions she had best write down in decipherable rhyme. England’s most famous prophetess, born in Norfolk, England in 1488, she dared not share her fire. Prophesized that women would cut their hair short, and wear trousers, practically three hundred years prior. When I think of her brilliance at hiding her mystical savvy, hiding psychic self in her moods, Her declaration that “men will live as hogs” makes me smile, predicting processed foods? London fire seeing before the fact, she knew of the Catholic Church’s fall, the rise of Elizabeth, Me thinks a comet is coming that will circle the earth for six days, six nights, causing us instant death. A homely woman, she may have been, but her ideas were sound, as they came right in. Daring to hide it in verses and score, Prophetess Ursula Shipton, forevermore!
