Jack Horne Poet Free verse

A Tarot Card

He chose the card 
And slowly flipped it over
An angel looked up at him:
Judgement

His health would get better
And his business would succeed

A fresh start

Now he must learn from all his mistakes 
And forget the past

But how he feared the future…

for Tracie’s Tarot card contest (the Judgement card)

Russell Sivey November 18, 2012 at 12:55 PM This is quite the deep write my friend! I just love the powerfulness of this poem, the Judgement card!
