Pub Chatter: UNBOUND - October 22, 2017 - Prompt #3 - Write a poem about a visit to a gypsy who sees your future in her crystal ball.
Mis-fortune
"Why is it so dark in here?"
"Better for me to see
what it is you wish to know."
"I want to know my future,
how my life's destined to go."
The Gypsy murmured something
I couldn't hear every word
She mentioned cool clear water
where not a sound was heard
A tiny house on pebbled floor
waving fronds and other things
"Wait," she said. "I still see more.
"You have big round eyes and little wings."
I snapped on the light
and stood in shock
I'd paid good money
to hear her talk
Anger smothered my appal
"Enough of all this rigmarole.
That is not a crystal ball,
it's nothing but a goldfish bowl!"
