ABC Poem - How Luck is Made


Midnight in the garden of superstition,

No luck if it weren’t for bad luck.

One black cat prowls the paths,

Pitching salt across its shoulder.

She carries a basket to harvest the rabbit feet.

Skulls with grins guard the gate.

The fence design swirls with spades.

Under a ladder the four-leaf clovers grow.

Velvet stars streak the evening sky.

Her plans are based on the advice of fortune cookies.
