Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Chastushka

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.

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2010 at 8:01 AM 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
