The Tarot
In shadows where whispers dwell,
A tale unfolds, a warning bell,
The tarot speaks with ancient eyes,
Of two-faced liars, masked in guise.
With every shuffle, secrets stir,
The cards lay bare what hearts infer,
The Lovers' pose, a smile so sweet,
Yet hidden thorns lie 'neath their feet.
The Moon reflects their wavering truth,
A dance of doubt, a fleeting sleuth,
Illusions shimmer, bright and bold,
Yet betrayals lurk in tales untold.
The Seven of Swords, a cunning thief,
Wrapped in charm, they douse your grief,
They promise sun, yet bring the rain,
A tapestry of joy and pain.
So heed the signs, let wisdom steer,
In every smile, a hint of fear,
For those who wield a double tongue,
Can twist your fate 'til hope is hung.
With every card a lesson learned,
Trust not the fire where shadows burned,
Protect your heart, keep ghosts at bay,
For the truth will light a safer way.
In tarot's lore, a guide appears,
To steer from fools and calm your fears,
Embrace the light, let honesty reign,
For in the truth, you'll break their chain.

The Blue Ridge Stalker
Tom had left the Ford down the way, its spark plugs finally exhausted and no mechanics for a dozen miles back through the foothills to Strossburg. No matter, he had worn his boots—almost as if he planned for this to happen. The puzzle he sought to solve emanated from the woods clinging to the slopes above; the valley behind held no mysteries.

I think Tarot cards are a good way to get ideas for writing stories. Good job.
