By happenstance, I found you And my once empty, sullen heart Filled to the brim with ecstasy Hurray for happy accidents! Dismally sad and blue was I One jet-black day, then I walked Outdoors, and voila! A goldmine In the sky...sunshine I searched up and down Terra firma for gold; tearing cobwebs Out of long unvisited nooks and crannies And I stumbled upon a glistening diamond I perambulated through footpaths Of life, just minding my business Suddenly I unearthed a jewel Touched by the gods...happiness I treaded uncharted far-flung places Along the way, I discovered an Unsought hidden treasure...love Hurray for happy accidents!

I enjoyed the enchanting spirit of your beautifully expressed poem, Edward. Emotionally rewarding imagery, I especially loved; 'tearing cobwebs/Out of unvisited nooks and crannies' - superb. Your fantastic last line made for an inspiring finale. Congratulations on your excellent win, my friend.. ~Susan

Hurray for happy accidents! But let it not to be just an accident, because you prove much more than talent in wishful thinking.
