Luck Poems
The Parting of the Column
by Rudyard Kipling
We've rode and fought and ate and drunk as rations come to hand,
Together for a year and more around this stinkin' land:
Now you are goin' home again, but we must see it through.
We needn't tell we liked you well. Good-by - good luck to you!
You ‘ad no special call to come, and so you doubled out,
And learned us how to camp and cook an' steal a horse and scout.
What ever game we fancied most, you joyful played it too,
And rather better of the whole. Good-by - good luck to you!

A Change of Fortune
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was an invaluable bank teller, loving peaceful life and daisy blue sky days,
Like yellow sun warming sweet seasons, inducing vibrant, natural displays.
I left for pleasant work every day, with a determined and practical purpose;
And I was happy in my job thoroughly, as colorful clowns at a golden circus.
My friends and I would lunch together, like milky stars gathered in the sky,
And we laughed at the mellow sunshine, like wind will sometimes, going by.
My family passed in and out of rose hours, like moon's hide and seek ways,

Fools luck
by Mario Odekerken
Chance favors the careless
a whisper of fortune
dancing on the edge of fate.
Blind to the warnings
the fool strides boldly
finding treasures in shadows
where wisdom falters
and luck reigns unchallenged.
Het geluk van een klavertje vier
by Mario Odekerken
Klein en onopvallend tussen het gras,
vier kleine blaadjes vol belofte in stilte gevonden.
Een vleugje geluk uit de aarde geplukt,
een teken dat het wonder soms dichtbij ligt.
The biscuit poem.
by Gautham Shankar.

by Rukudzo Kachambgwa
Know this one truth, that anything
And everything can kill you.
If you're not careful
You might hurt yourself badly
Because surely, there's nothing in the world
That can't hurt you.
Even drinking water once it passes along the wrong path
Could kill you.
Even the sadza that you eat everyday
Once injested badly, could kill you.
