Tarot in Haiku: The High Priestess

A.

Seated on her throne,
Backed by pomegranate waves,
She awaits questions.

B.

Flanked by two pillars
Of ebony and ivory,
She guards mysteries.

C.

At her feet the moon,
Crescent in shape, shines its light
By which she may read.

D.

Close-held to her breast
The secret truths of the world,
Which she keeps ready.

E.

Silent in judgment,
She calls forth the worthy ones
To impart her scrolls.

These are quite good --  perhaps you will let us collect them on a web page or something when you finish the Major Arcana?

I'll think about it, certainly.  If I do, I may have to ask you to take them down if/when I try to publish them, but I'll give you an answer on that by the time I've finished the Majors, certainly.

While we could take them down from the web site if needed, they cannot come off the board. (Just wanted to make sure you know that.)

I know.  I don't think it'll be a problem.  If it is, I'll self-publish.  *shrug*
