Tarotetry.
Remember that amazing writing workshop I went to last December? One of the things the lovely Alexandra Franzen did was give us a writing prompt in the form of a tarot card. She showed us the card, gave a quick description and then we had to dash off a poem in a few minutes time. (Get it? Tarot + Poetry = Tarotetry)
It was a great exercise for me. I’m not one to write much in the way of poetry, except for those wretched scrawls during a particularly bad break-up. (What is it about love gone wrong that makes you write bad poetry?)
I had forgotten about this writing until today, when I was thumbing through my notebook from the workshop. The few words I wrote then jumped out at me today, and I want to share them. Perhaps they will prompt something for you.
