National Poem Writing Month 2018 Day#27: Today,
following Lauren Hunterโs practice of relying on tarot cards to generate ideas for poems, we challenge you toย pick a cardย (any card), and then to write a poem inspired either by the card or by the images or ideas that are associated with it.
My selection is Number 9 card of Hermit
every nightย
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย my soul ache
to talk to someoneย ย ย to let the poison outย ย ย to burn the poems
and to warmย ย my handย ย in that fire
madness you can sayย
as the idea standsย ย at the threshold
I show the lightย ย coming from itย ย to be forecastย ย on the wallย ย of my room
atonement
I feelย ย when the wordsย ย get arrested
in the pages
giving birth to a poemย ย just a poem, nothing else
looking insideย ย ย I find meย ย in a robeย ย holding the lantern
flame is the poem
poem that’s just arrangement of wordsย ย nothing else
ย ย ย
