where the wild flowers grow

The fool,
he intrigues me
with laughter,
aloof cackle.

Dare I stare
at the hanged man?
He may open his eyes,
and beckon me
with his bloodlet hands.

Queen of Pentacles,
her dark emotion:
reverse.

Aloud a somber
card faces
downward..

Devil,
or death.

dare you stare, the beckoning just might be too hard to resist, again my poetry queen, beautiful...

You are absolutely sinister! God, I love that! No one's read my poem 'The Beginning of the Drink'. I'd love to get your opinion on it. BTW, please write more like this one.

I have only my genius to declare!

I long to go for a reading.

it fascinates me.
I told myself I would this summer, my mother also, thanks for reminding me.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

change would be nice..or perhaps even being loosened from the shackles...enjoyed

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

the readings are often a bit portending... while the cards themselves seem to laugh at us.. taunt us perhaps to see ourselves in true...

nicely written... I enjoyed

Dare I stare
at the hanged man?

I can empathize with this line much, especially feeling like the hanged man at times.
Glad to be among poets such as yourself.
