At Writer’s Island, the prompt is “Foretell.” This is my second of two! Enjoy a true moment… Amy
PROPHESY
Five-year-old
pulls up an ankle sock and
turns to the grown musicians
“In B Flat,” she whispers, “one-two-three-“
and launches into “K-K-K-Katy”
Two choruses, much applause
She’s found her spot:
Face to the crowd, in front of the band
Selling the song
No fortune teller could have read her palm
Nor Tarot deck have been laid
any better than this

This one grows on you – well, it has on me. It’s a little gem, you must be very proud of it.

Imagining it is SOOOO much cuter than going through it, LOL

Great take on the prompt. Amazing how prophetic one moment in time can turn out to be. (But why am I not surprised?) ☼

We all have our relevatory moments when a path seems to open before us…

I was lucky it happened so early! Thanks, Amy
