Four Leaf Clovers
When I was a kid they said 4 leaf clovers
bring good luck
So I scoured the jaunty green
clovers to pluck
careful to avoid bees sucking nectar
and spreading pollen
from the white bristle headed blooms.
I would always find one
during the hunt
place it in a book or my Bible
to flatten
my lucky charm.
The thrill was in the hunt.
I forgot about my talisman
never contemplating if indeed
Good fortune came my way.
I learned early on
I was not the driver of Destiny
and too young to know
Synchronicity..

“The thrill was in the hunt.” That is so right, it’s about the journey not the destination isn’t it? Love this. Thanks for sharing.
I rarely found one 🙂
Lovely! Yes, hunting them was the fun!
