This week, let’s write a clairvoyant poem. Do you have ESP? Of course you don’t but it’s easy to imagine so let’s write about what you’d remote view and what you’d see. Post you precognition or retro in the comments below.

    Don’t Believe a Thing I See

    Folks think I’m a clairvoyant.
    They think I see the future.
    I can tell them what will be
    with weather and misfortune.

    They don’t know arthritis flares
    before a coming storm.
    They don’t know I listen to
    the gossip in the market.

    Thank heaven’s I won’t take a dime
    as payment for my visions.
    I’m as psychic as a rug,
    but I stay out of prison.
