Poem Artwork

The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any one's ass.....William Blake




The Gypsy Madame Fernandez

Madame Fernandez the gypsy with sight
Saw thru tomorrow, with yesterday's light
Smoked the peyote, the ganja, the weed
Lit the white candle, for all that believed

Madame Fernandez could speak to the dead
And laughed as the voices conversed in her head
Danced in the moonlight at Midsummer's Eve
Consulted the spirits that lived in the trees

Madame Fernandez was hardly earth bound
Transcending her body, asleep......without sound
At one with the cosmos, expansive as sky
Projecting her spirit.......yet to the earth tied

Madame Fernandez in black satin shawl
Summoning spirits.....awaiting her call
Reading the tarot with nonchalant ease
Granting protection and prayers.... for a fee

Madame Fernandez felt wisdom thru stones
From amethyst, crystal, citrine, and carved bones
Gazing in silence, thru clear crystal ball
Reading the palm....tracing lines...telling all

Madame Fernandez would NEVER drink tea
For as she neared bottom...HER future she'd see
The leaves did not lie, no matter the blend
They showed her ADRIFT...ALONE...in the END

Nifty jaunt this poem, Anita.
I have often wondered how astrologers can step outside their Zodiac signs and not be affected by them.
'Oooh, you're going to meet a tall dark cucumber. You will come into gold at the dentist. Watch out for the woman with a turd in her hand.'

Funny when written like this. Yet none of this would affect the astrologer, right?
