14 Nov: Poem-a-Day Challenge

people lined up to throw coins in a well

Luck …

Luck …

is the person
who tosses a stone
in the well
and makes a wish
when they hear a splash

Unlucky …

is the person
who fills their well
with stones

      I love Dead Can Dance. I must listen to them more often. And this song is a perfect pairing. Thank you.

      I was actually recalling a particular house where I was having workmen renew lead flashings on the roof, and the silly guys kept dropping their tea bags down the well. “Silly” wasn’t exactly the word I was mumbling though. 🤣
