POEM STARTER

Compose a poem based on a tarot card of your choice.

Tarot cards contain deep meanings and allusions to Greek/Roman mythology that can be used as a base for a poem.

The Lovers

When I saw you time stood still.

All reasoning was bent at will.

You were not a gift but a flame.

I had questions like what was your name.

I reached—

Wanting you to know all of me.

Your gaze fierce and kind.

Revealed the god we’ve left behind.

We are not perfect but we choose,

To rise , to fall, to win, to loose.

No fate, not force but a holy dare—

To stand in love, stripped and bare.

So let them speak of stars and signs.

Our myth is older then their lines.

With the card drawn,

Our love has only begun.
