Fortunes

Fortunes Once there was a crystal globe Disguised as a twirling strobe Lucky for me, I could clearly see. My future was not there, but in me. © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 19, 2010 Poetic form: Chastushka

Your wisdom springs forth from your pen, Dane Ann. I wish we could all look into that crystal ball and see the truth as clearly as you do. Indeed, we make our own futures! Love, Carolyn
