A POEM FOR TODAY

SHOUT OUT



Big shout out
To those in the
Audience
Who taught me
Encouraged me
Inspired me to be
A poet whether or
Not they knew it
Was in my head at
The time
Still I would not be me
Would not have this
Voice as if
It belonged to me alone
Thanks

THURSDAY POETRY PROMPT

WRITE AN "IMPROVEMENT" POEM

LADY LUCK



Things have gone
From bad to worse
Putting  our life in
Reverse
But with
These lucky numbers
I will make things
Better just need a
Big hit today
2-----7-----0
These three digits
Came to me last night
In a vision
Play them straight or
In combination and wait
For the lady I love best
Luck she will come
Through for me put
Me back on my feet
In a day or so
In no time

Now
If I can just borrow
A dime
