The Fool

Fools
think they
can conquer
even the minds.
Blowing their trumpet,
they plan to take big strides,
oblivious of people
who hold the absolute power.
Their selfish thoughts lead them to their doom.
Annals of history are before you.

Our worries can never change the future
Wait and hope is the best conviction
Nobody owns the place he claims
All perish in the hourglass
and go empty handed.
Fools fail to foresee
those divine plans.
Arrogance
mentors
them.

Thanks to Colleen and Willow for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to focus on the theme, which is the Fool card from the Tarot. Choose an image and use the art on the card(s) to inspire your poetic reading of the fool card. You can use any syllabic form you’d like.

I have written a double Etheree.

An Etheree is a type of poem which consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So it is called a double Etheree.

Thank you for reading my poetry.
Here is the Amazon link for my new poetry book.
