NaPoWriMo 27

So the tortoise is still at Prompt 27: 

We challenge you to pick a card (any card) from this online guide to the tarot, and then to write a poem inspired either by the card or by the images or ideas that are associated with it.

This is the card that I picked : 

I was not sure how to go about it. I began by actually describing what I saw and then it evolved into a message about saving the Earth. I don't think it was a conscious process. So this is what I came up with :

Daughter of The Sun

Where has she gone?

Did we send her on exile?

Seated she was

On scarlet velvet cushions

Wearing a tiara of starry gems

Robed in satin silky sheen

Falling about her stockinged feet

in downy ripples

A benign smile adorned

her firm and gentle countenance

eyes swimming with kindness and resilience

The shield of Venus abounding

in love, vitality and courage

lay by the side

Holding aloft a marble sceptre

Hand raised in blessing

Bestowing Power and fortitude

Bequeathing lushness of grain

And abundance of water

We need to find her and reclaim her

We need to cajole, coax , convince her 

Never again shall we disregard her

Never again shall we plunder her

We need to bring back her regime

Before the day of Doom

Gains upon us!
