Seven of Swords

Christiana's picture
A fox inside the chicken coop
Thievery and lies
An unseen foe may hide in wait
An enemy may rise.
 
Valuing integrity
And all that’s right and just.
Do I place my faith in what
Is worthy of my trust?
 
A monster underneath the bed
Or just shadows in the night?
The dieter creeps up to the fridge
To sneak just one more bite.
 
Borrowing from Peter
As Paul goes unpaid
A little creativity
Assures the deal is made.
 
The hand reaching in the cookie jar
And snatched back just in time.
It’s possible to be both
The victim and the crime.

And I just got your book in the mail!  so great!

Thanks, Mary Anna!  Our conversation inspired me to choose this card as the next poem to write, so of course I had to tag you!

s-words=BRILLIANT!

Hmmm. . . the Scorpio/ 7 Swords connection. . .

Thanks for getting the book!  Hope you like it!
