Repent
Desire is hidden
up our sleeves, playing us with
serendipity
Joker’s wild with make-believe
(better hide those foolish hearts)
I’ve bent everything here–prompts, forms, words, cards.
The prompt words are from Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, but liberties have been taken with the tanka. Also inspired by–although not really following–the dVerse pentimento prompt (well, pentimento does mean “to repent” in Italian), and a poem I wrote awhile ago based on Laura Nyro’s “Flim Flam Man”.
I do love that Joker/Fool card too.

Bending is part of creativity. I like the sentiments expressed and the rhythm of your words. Your art is always expressive too. Love it! ❤

Nice connection of sounds with “sleeves”, “serendipity” and “believes”. I also liked those devil cards.

I love your Joker card, with that happy devil. Usually I find them creepy, but an honest to goodness demon changes everything. Bent in the middle and a thief of hearts too.
