Luck Laced

cherished clover green
coronet topped purple plume
search out the four-leafed sprite

eye to lawn outspread
taste of bee sweet blossom red
leprechauns key find

pressed between pages
still lucks’ keepsake enclosed
more sought than the rose

A beautiful Haiku Chain, wonderfully expressing that branded so lucky, the 'Four Leaved Clover', so loved by the Irish and British throughout. Brings back many a childhood hour searching for this priceless gift!! Keep penning, Anna-Marie.

I can see you as a little girl, crawling around the clover, as your mother and father lay on a quilt, under a shady oak, smiling, hopeful, of your intense search- Tis true poetry, when ones poems incite thoughts to allow the reader's mind to wonder so! Thank-you for sharing your poetic expertise, Deborah! poet butterfly
