A spectacle weird to interpret

Sunday Whirl with words:
levitate creature blood dancing 
dark plague dreadful praying 
tarot gun seduce kiss penny 

To have a halo levitate above
its head a creature of cold
blood is dancing in the dark

What can all this mean
Worries plague his mind
A spectacle weird to interpret
He can only guess

It seems dreadful praying
over tarot cards hoping to gun
for a prized target in mind

To seduce a lame mind
and overwhelm puny beings
is also a wicked option

Kiss good-bye to base tendencies
Think big for penny thoughts
might not bring huge dividends

  1. I like your closing lines, Hank. Betting one's life or depending on mere chance is never a desirable option.

  5. Praying over a tarot card seems like quite a contradiction, Hank! I do think sometimes these things do seduce a person's mind. As for me, tarot cards frighten me. As does the ouija board.
