Good Fortune Poems - Poems about Good Fortune

Good Fortune

When good fortune rains down
On some family or friend,
We can share in their joy
And best wishes extend.

It’s a wonderful thing
To be in on the news
And be able to smile
And to proudly enthuse.

For we know they would be
In a similar vein
If good fortune on us would,
Instead of them, rain.

Life Beyond the Status Quo

Life Beyond the Status Quo

Traveling far, far away from home,
Leaving family and friends to roam,
Did not expect changes it would bring,
To a life feeling apathy’s sting.

Had much pity from which to borrow,
Saw no bright future in tomorrows,
Never thought to make goals or form dreams,
Caught in a trap of MUNDANE routines.

Thought hiding my distress very smart,
Shielding

Blessed With Good Fortune

From way up high looking down on Earth
Living up on some clouds to the west
Is my guardian angel watching over me
Not allowing hard times and unrest

Blessed with good fortune and a happy life
Pretty lucky when I hear people mutter
It hasn't been a popular trend among most
Yet my life's been smooth as butter 

Makes me smile

Tides of Good Fortune

Whatever the tides of good fortune bring 

With the same ease may take them away!

Good Fortune - Bad Fortune

Fortune, 
Whether good or bad, doesn't discriminate between:
The poor and the rich, 
The powerful and the weak, 
The young and the old
For
Like an infatuated maiden
Comes and goes as she pleases, 
Without ever giving any warnings or offering any explanations and
feeling no regrets 
As 
She knows very well that in a cyclical world of becoming 
Nothing

Good Fortune

My fridge freezer's just had a wee on the floor
(the third time this month it's done that)
the toaster is showing it's nastier side
with a mortar attack on the cat.
Odd socks disappear through a wormhole in space
that's inside my washing machine,
a pigeon has kindly downloaded his lunch
on the window that I have just cleaned.
Mystic Meg has

The Body of Good Fortune

The body of good fortune is always fragile
and never lasts.
You understand?
All unseen fortunes gently strokes our synapses
and always turns our direction to Potter’s Field
or the penthouse.
The gravity of living in an indifferent city
pulls our hearts to the third rail
so we could feel something
anything but the sensation
perfected by the shut in.
Insomnia is what remains
like the last

Good Fortune of Lusmore

Good Fortune of Lusmore

Lusmore lived close and near Aherlowey
Which was by gloomy Mount Galtee
And on his back he wore a high hump
When Lusmore walked he had to slump.

While walking from Cahir to Coppagh
Lusmore passed through a soggy bog
And Knockgrafton moat was nearby
Moon over Gilgal was high in the sky.

Started to rest beneath a tall tree
All

Good Fortune of Bill Doody

Good Fortune of Bill Doody

By Lake Kilarney, Bill Doody sat
And he was to poor to buy a hat
Wife and grawls starved inside
Just last winter one nearly died.

So sadly sat by himself all alone
A face before him brightly shone
Someone came to help starving Bill
He poured his sorrows out at will.

Can't pay my rent Bill sadly said
And

Blessed With Good Fortune

From way up high looking down on Earth
Living up on some clouds to the west
Is my guardian angel watching over me
Not allowing hard times and unrest

Blessed with good fortune and a happy life
Pretty lucky when I hear people mutter
Bout this and that, bout all kinds of sadness
Yet my life's been smooth as butter 

Makes me
