The Complete Tarot Poems

This is not a sequence of poems. Each one of the seventy-eight poems in this collection (corresponding to the seventy eight cards in the Tarot Pack) is quite different from all the others, as unique and original as the card to which it refers. For example:
III of Swords
The rain falls ...
The heart is pierced
not once
but again
and again ...
And still the rain falls.
Only rain
can make the flowers grow
and bloom
and blow in the wind
and sunshine.
Only a pierced heart
can know
what it is to love.
VII of Wands
Fending off
sticks and stones
and spears
is child's-play.
Brushing off
your neighbours' jeers,
the sneers of work-place rivals,
your own self-doubt and fears
is not.
Yet children do it
every day.
That's one example each from two suits of the Minor Arcana. As you can imagine, many of the best poems relate to the Major Arcana - but for those you'll have to buy the book. (Even a poet must eat!)
