Prelude
Sanaa -
April 1, 2017
Earlier PoemsPoetry

It felt as though magic sprinkling from
the sun. Wishes and wants bloomed as
though bed of hyacinth and rose. April
arrives carrying more poems than sane
poets could handle. 

Ah! ‘The Fool card’ usually, represents a
new beginning, (and consequently) end
to something in our old life. The fortune
teller flashed a knowing smile.

I gasp at the possibility of heart stirring
information. Holding onto anticipation 
and resolve, prepared to set sail on new
journey without a trace of doubt.

    This is like a whiff rose perfume, cold and sweet and perfect — what more foolish hope and confidence could we need to embark on this journey? Excited for your travels!

    I could certainly see the glint in the fortune teller’s eyes, as if she knew everything there was to know and some of it was going to slightly hysterical but extremely fun. I really like that the speaker is excited about what might come, even if it’s unknown (or, perhaps, because of it).

    Or a journey sane poets might not attempt. Great beginning to our frenzied 30 days of 30 poems.
