Poem

Auspicious wedding games played by Indian bride and groom,
Like finding names written on bride's orange vermilion bloom;
Searching the hidden ring out of thick turmeric water,
Or untying knots of bridal garments like a plotter...! 

Or the great fantasy Dragon Roar played by the Chinese,
Conflict betwixt heroes and demons, the latter does freeze; 
Might not be exactly; yet, Broken Wishbone is a game;
Every game is an entertainment. It could be the same...!

Auspicious game joyfully played in Western dining hours,
With birds skeleton men and women displayed their powers;
Breaking wishbones (merry-thought) for good luck, as ritual,
Spreading from Etruscan culture became habitual…!

As playing any other harder-games players took their sides,
Holding the given sides, they, pulled with wishes, like high-tides;
The one broke perfectly well, felt as though his wish fulfilled,
If both succeeded breaking their portions, lo, both got thrilled...!

Symbol of power; potential; luck; good fortune; and hope;
Possessing it, as greatest wealth, gave existence great scope; 
As jewelry, fashion and aesthetic designs gracious,
Wishbones added charm of diamonds and gemstones precious...!
