Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Good Luck She Said

Good luck she said.
Ha! I make my own luck.
Always have, always will.

Good luck in the contest.
Good luck on stage. 
Good luck, good luck, good luck.

Showing me her sweet self.
I am not fooled.
Her pure nasty resonates.
Her nasty eyes, her nasty smile.
Her pure and evil nasty self.

Good luck she says, but break a leg, she means.
Break a finger, break a neck, die, woman, die.
Good luck my ass. She has never meant it.
She never will. I know for she is my nemesis.

I smile and wave, pretending to be fooled
by my self-reflection.

Silent One January 22, 2019 at 4:27 AM Sometimes we do make our own luck, but a lot of the times it is chance.. Well expressed Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2019 at 5:13 AM Thank you Silent One; I readily rely on and depend on chances as they come my way so often.

Andrea Dietrich January 21, 2019 at 5:15 PM oh WOW, Caren. what a TWIST at the end!! YOu could think that?? Anyway, a FAVE. Caren Krutsinger January 21, 2019 at 7:00 PM Thank you Andrea. Yes, I can think this all day long. Having all of my "ha ha ha" issues has helped me get a grip on a variety of my selves - false and true ones.

Kim Rodrigues January 21, 2019 at 1:18 PM Love the ending! Yes, ourselves, that evil woman, gets in the way. <3 Kim Caren Krutsinger January 21, 2019 at 7:01 PM She does, and Kim, we have to keep reminding ourselves, to tell her to go, in a kind, but firm way, not kicking her or whipping her, but putting up with her nonsense no more
