Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Sonnet

The Water Fountains

People are drawn to the water fountains
Water fountains are all different
They are round, square,oval short
 Yet a crowd always gathers here
Someone holds a coin-makes a wish
Then throws the coins-into the fountain
Hoping that their wishes made comes true
The fountain filled with coins 
No one knows which coin the fountain 
will bless
Only the fountain knows which coin 
will be blessed
So people hope that it will be theirs.
Yet only one coin is blessed.

Matthew Anish December 19, 2019 at 9:47 PM We all hope for the best of luck. I play the lottery fairly regularly. Hope your coin is the blessed one. As for my poem I just meant that it is nicer to read a good book than law books and Tom Sawyer is a good book.
