Okay, so I'm starting a project. Again.

I'm going to do, partially, my own Tarot deck. I'll be writing out a poem for each card. Art-wise, I'm gonna be handing out commissions left and right once I get all the poems written.

Anyway, I'm going to do a sonnet for each of the Major Arcana and something smaller, maybe a haiku or similar, for each of the Minor Arcana.

Anywho, I'll probably do them in order for the Majors and then just do the Minors between to kill off writer's block.

So, let's get this started with Zero, The Fool:

The sturdiest oak, proud and tall,
Sprouted once from the most minute seed.
The world's wisest leader, beheld by all,
Was once still learning, unfit to lead.

Each work of art, haunting to behold,
Started from but canvas and paint.
All villains whose life was ever told,
Before a sinner, were born a saint.

Before God's finger struck the Earth,
The sky first crafted an airy ring.
You can't predict the ultimate worth
By the simple flap of a butterfly's wing.

My freedom and style are left to shun;
Brand me a fool, but my tale's just begun.

Not a bad start, eh? I'm probably gonna go back and rewrite these ones a million times, as I hope to get them published. So, any feedback would be loved.
