TAROT CARD READING /ANY LENGTH OK
Anonymous
Poetry Contest Description
WRITE A POEM ABOUT A TAROT CARD READING
Everything is going wrong in your life.
You keep choosing the wrong partner, the wrong job and you are struggling financially. A friend drags you off to a Tarot card reader who gives you a discount. As she places the cards out, there is a sinking feeling at the bottom of your stomach. You are both intrigued and scared about what the tarot reader will tell you.
Write a poem with a beginning describing your circumstances, then go on to describe the reading and then finally what the reader told you and how your reacted to it....belief, disbelief.....
REFERENCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot
JUNE 30, 2012.... since there are so few submissions
the POEM can be ANY length...I am NOT counting words
2 weeks - or as long as it takes to get enough submissions
will give more instructions as people ask for clarification....
APOLOGIES....the ONLY rule which changed in this competition is the length....you should STILL follow the rules above.

Ummmm ..... this is Waaaaaaaaay over 2oo words.
Should I quit while I`m ahead? Or should I make an unjuried submission?
(I never truly learned to read through all the instructions. Let`s give thanks
I`m not an aeronautical engineer....)

REPLY TO ALL OF THE ABOVE ALSO:
I entered the wrong type of poetry to a recent competition.
The MODERATOR sent me a private email telling me that these
were NOT what he or she wanted and asked me to RESUBMIT....
So everybody....hand it in....if it is not what I asked for
I will just do the same courtesy for you that the above
un-named MODERATOR did for me!
JUNE 30, 2012....A POEM OF ANY LENGTH IS ACCEPTABLE
LIBRE OFFICE WRITER is FREE - does spell check and grammar check and counts words.......
You do not have to submit a perfect poem....I allow you to put it down and re-edit it for the FULL LENGTH of the competition....
You know you can erase the whole thing and substitute a better poem.....just press EDIT
I have read my own cards and they were creepingly accurate.
I went to a good astrologer as a skeptic and she was
creepily accurate....
So if you are creeped out by this competition - that is the way I felt......
Let the games begin......
