Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Serendipity

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!

Susan Ashley May 30, 2019 at 10:34 PM 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 Edward Ibeh May 30, 2019 at 10:39 PM Thank you so much for the lovely comments and visit, Susan:-) I'm pleased you enjoyed my poem.

Ovidiu Bocsa April 5, 2016 at 2:02 PM Hurray for happy accidents! But let it not to be just an accident, because you prove much more than talent in wishful thinking. Edward Ibeh September 27, 2017 at 2:54 PM Thanks for the kind words, Ovidiu:-)
