On Life

Life is not a superstition
But a collection of experience
It's memories that hold their worth
When time is near to leave this earth.


Premium Member Just Superstition

Just superstition?
Feisty black cat bearing claws 
the number thirteen  
tattooed upon its wild smile,
witches it’s your lucky day.

     owl’s screech stirs superstition -
          the deer hunter shakes

The Heart

The heart is more than an organ. It is the brain of intuition, Unmuddied by superstition. By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 2019 "All Rights Reserved"

Human Mistakes

We don't need demigods on earth,
we just need good men...
We don't need heroes,
we only want righteous men...
We don't want superstition
we need
spirituality
and poetry...!

Superstition

Knock on wood
fingers crossed
don't step on cracks
don't walk under ladders
what kind of messed-up
window cleaner have I got ?.

Premium Member God Doesnt Make Bad Birds

The raven has a bad reputation; it is undeserved. Superstition has caused some to hate raven but, some fear him. Birds are symbols for the soul; they fly close to Heaven.

Praying For Sustenance

There is
nothing wrong
when people
pray to
the sun or
pray to
the stars
for sustenance
tribal superstition nor
mere speculation
it is all
crafted and
connected
through the
hands of God
Indeed, all of it

Table Salt

Table salt is only truth
Filled up to the lip.
Sitting there upon your booth,
Waiting to be tipped.

Over shoulders it's dispensed.
The truth so quickly stricken.
Sacrificing common sense
For useless superstition.

The Lost Dutchman Mine

Hidden in the Superstition Mountains, veins over flowing with gold
       Rattle snakes, cactus and the Thunder God stand guard, trespassers beware
                     Now is the old Dutchman"s tomb, location is still not known

Just My Luck

It’s Friday and my old black cat
Across my path he goes
He does not care for human dates
His nonchalance, it shows

He blesses me by crossing me
At least that’s what he thinks
But since it is the thirteenth too
I’ve just been double jinxed.

Here we are on that lonesome road...
Crossing the same old paths once more
Why're you out here walkin' after midnight?
Just my luck ... with fewer lives left than before

Superstition Stevie Wonder

Heard this song over a 1000 times

But for the first time 
I just actually listened to the Lyrics

Of Stevie Wonder's 

Superstition

And paraphrasing 
it goes a little something like this

If you believe in things you don't understand

You Will Suffer

The Nutcracker

Too big to Crack this nut.
Too big to Crack a nut.

But leave it up to imagination.
Cosmo Star Beings and superstition.
Producing a morning prayer rumpelstiltskin.
Nut Cracked Her and sometimes you feel like 
a nut, sometimes you don't.

Old rotten owl rumpelstiltskin.
Odd and rotten in the days of the nutcracker.

Black cat crosses path.
Bad luck just superstition.
  ....about face, in case.

The bats and black cats
Are more powerful tonight.
   ...or so it may seem.

Spooky sounds abound,
Creaking doors are amplified.
  ...hair on neck stands up.

Spooky stories told
In front of Guy Foxes fire.
  ....all ending with Boo!!!

You'Re Real

Trust me i believe you are real
So real that you can steal
the fragmentation of my imagination
because superstition can cause manipulation
but love my empress
can conquer all manifestation
of a true vibration
yes.... once again I feel
and believe you're real

Lucky horseshoe a lone white feather.

Four leaf clover and lucky Heather.

Eyes of newt and wing of bat. 

Do not cross a cat that is black.

Don't walk under a ladder it is said.

Or something will happen and strike you dead.

Devils witches and warlocks to. 

Do you believe in superstitions? 

I know I do.

Group of skeletons Carries a lone casket Grave destination The ground was dug Casket was put in Cats do prowl To cemetery they go Meow of prestige They’re black as night Superstition comes with fears The cats reign tonight Pumpkins lit Shines until late Shadows are formed From its greatest light A demon’s look

Premium Member Mold

Take care not to get hold
Of bread that's very old
	Behind the breadbox door
	A microscopic spore
May have turned it to mold.

Sometimes mold is blue
	or white or gray or green
Some mold is so small
	it can't even be seen.

If you ate moldy bread
Mold would get in your head
	It would eat up your brain
	And make you insane.
Remember what I said.

Black As Night

Listen to poem:
Superstition sizzles;
Black cat on the prowl
Shutters swiftly close as
Wind begins to howl.

Padding down the alley
At the dead of night
Slinking round the corner
Poised to give a fright.

Blending into darkness
But for emerald eyes
Black cat wears the perfect
Halloween disguise.

Forlorn

Your life is a journey
Which will never wax or wane
A beacon of bottled moonlight
Anchored waves of radiant rain
There is no demise
Or salvation of plundered plight
Cast into a sea of superstition
In the depths of torrential night
Your life transcends flesh
That sinking vessel which we mourn
It resides in a shipwrecked message
Found on the shores of faith’s forlorn
