Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 11

By Ellie HoovsPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

I tore the joker

He told me I couldn't

play hearts with tarot

that showed I was best friends

with fools

and blind men

always upside down swords

in the tower

clinking cups with your devils

and me - queen of hearts,

I held the house.

stacked hearts, all mine,

yours for the losing.

folded for nothing.
