Today's prompt is to write a fortuitous poem.... A weird and fun idea this one!
Changing the rules a bit.... And I think I was subconsciously influenced by Ogden Nash and Charles Simic on this one for some reason!
A Daydream of Luck
A spider on the top of the stairs
came to me in a dream,
unravelling its web
with a pearl of a question
at its centre.
A piece of glass, on the sea's edge
saw through my heart
to where you disappeared
and the world too;
down into the deep swell of sorrow.
A clock, looking for tomorrow,
sighed your name and a pen
wrote down the time
I stopped waiting on you,
as memories melted into gold.
A feather, flew from grace,
landed in a puddle at my feet,
when the forecast was pain,
but a poem grew
from under my table
and began everything again.
I take no credit whatsoever but am honored at what you've done with my prompt. Gorgeous!
