My Tarot Poem

I made this poem a while back and posted it onto another forum, so here it is:

I am memories of old,
I am stories yet to be told,
I help to guide you through that which isn't written in stone,
But I can help you watch your life path unfold.

I am tarot,
a tool of divination,
looking into you and revealing your inner revelation,
you think I cannot see inside,
the thoughts you locked away and thought have died,
So sit down for this reading I'll be kind,
but you have been fore warned that you cannot hide whats in you mind.


any feedback on this would be nice.

I think it is a good poem. Have never seen a poem dedicated to tarot before. Makes me want to have a go of my own and perhaps show my ethics in the form of rhyme.



Like the way you look at the issues of past, present and future and portray that using rhyme.

I wouldn't start a line with the word 'but' though. That may be as a result of my schooling (an old fashioned UK grammar school) whereby they were somewhat strict in the teachings of grammar.

Well done, and for having the belief to post it here.

and rather rudely I didn't say welcome to the forum.

Well... I am saying it now. Hope you enjoy wombling around the many forums and topics, and that you find the journey helps you on your new found quest of "tarot"

I think now it is correct in some instances to start sentences with but. In poems, simple is better, and words like "but" "and" "or" can be dropped at the beginning of lines

Thank you for the kind words Shadowdancer

I like it. Tarot is wonderful to inspire poems....

Not to steal the spot light I would like to share mine. Maybe if anyone has one we can post her?

Shuffling the deck
The cards say my life is a wreck

The Fool made me take the risks

The Magician tried to teach me his skill
but i could not pass

The High Priestess told me to be quiet

enough we the riot

The Empress made me relax

she said sit back and eat some snacks

The Emperor took control over my life

he stole my wife

I went to The Hierophant for help

The Lovers made me choose
but I refuse

I tried to find my inner Strength

Hiding from the world
I became the hermit

The Wheel of fortune did not spin my way
My money was taken away

I found no Justice

I became the hangman
its all gods plan

The Tower covers it all
It shows my downfall

Death is behind me
Only to remind me

I tried temperance
it did not work

The Devil blinds me
Keeps me from the light

The Star is faint out of my sight
No where can you see its light

The Sun is dead

I feel only dread

The moon
Making me fear
I still know death is near

My Judgment is coming
I hear the horn sound

lifting me from the ground

I can see the world
But if don't feel complete

Hiya.. I really like your poem.. in it's simplicity, it says it all...

I reckon it's short enough to laminate a copy and stick on your fridge for visitors to read when they go to your fridge to get milk for their coffee or something..

Yours is pretty good too Alpha-Omega. Tells a story, the type of poem one can use to remember the basic meaning of individual cards...

Writing short stories or epic type poems using the cards is probably another good way to enhance understanding and be able to go into each card on a deeper psychological level... very Jungarian...

I really like it. I love the flow of the first verse.
