Daily Poetry Collection Special Edition Vol. 1
This week's edition of my weekly Haiku collection about another love of mine. The Tarot. I have been in love with Tarot since seeing my very first deck around the age of 10 and have since collected many decks through the years. This week I focused each day on one of the first 7 cards of the Major Arcana. I will also switch up styles. You notice that these are not Haikus but Tanka's. Another form of Japanese poetry that follows the 5-7-5-7-7 scheme. The first two lines talk about something concrete. The third line is a pivot line that connects the two halves of the poem together, and the last two address emotions or inner reflection. Now I don't follow the concrete lines and reflection lines faithfully, but I try to include a pivot and shift with each poem.

Storm Clouds
It's an overwhelming sight – the nearly black clouds looming overhead that hunger to block out the sun and pour down onto us an unshakable feeling – one that leaves us empty yet fills us with uncertainty. However – this condition is fleeting. I see through the cracks in the dark sky cover; I allow the cold bullets to reach me. Because my memory serves to remind me of the light blue, airy white, and bright green that follows. And familiarity reminds me further, that there is nothing to fear as a storm begins to roll. I have been here before; I will bring myself home.
