Superstitious Poems

You are my white dove,
carrying an olive branch to my doorstep.
And I, the black cat 
sitting in your path, forcing you to walk under ladders.

CNY 2nd day

2025.1.30
CNY 2nd day.
Today, the celebration continues.
People visit their distance relatives,
Their grand parents, aunties, uncles and cousins,
The CNY visiting's routine become formal and practical,
The meals is also less glamorous
There will be lobster, oysters and prawns.
The rotating hexagon box,
Full of sweets and candies are still on.
Chinese people believe,
What happens in the first three days in CNY,
Will repeat

Premium MemberSuperstitious Uncle Ed

Uncle Ed came to live with us when he was in his seventies
He felt old, weird, and he had white hair on his face
It sprouted out of his nose

He was our distant uncle, a blue baby who should not have lived
But the doctor kept working on him way after he should have given up
His superstitions

Superstitious

Sensing the atmosphere for omens.
Signs of impending, cusp and verge.
I ping and curl, scrape to drudge up-
internal program and hit send 
and hope for good vibes return "not the end."

I have become a lightless diode.
A buzzing lamppost in the neighborhood
of victimhood and it's backstreet node.
A useless burnt out core in off mode.
A robot running over

Thirteen  - a number that delights and excites those nearing 
A birthday that includes it.

Thirteen – a superstitious black cat with a witchy feel to it.
Especially if you’re born in October.

Thirteen – three extra digits if you try to make a clock out of it.
Can be done if you write the extra numbers as

Superstitious Kitty

For There Is A Brighter Side Contest
Picture #2



Superstition can be fun
Since the day it has begun
Seeing others try to shake
Unlucky feelings as they wake
Ladders you can not walk under
Spilling salt is a big blunder
Don't step on a sidewalk crack
But don't pick on a cute black cat
They're called unlucky all the time
But its such a shameful

Superstitious Shopper



Who hexed the price?
Made the bargain lose its luster
Who’s selling dull kitchenware knives?
Trying to cut away consumer confidence
There’s no hand lotion in the ladies room,
ain’t no winning boil in the big Lotto cauldron
Can’t get no good juju from a synthetic broom,
you shouldn’t bought the stockings with the run 
Superstitions 
got you banging your head
on a

Karma doesn’t exist in my little life,
Beginners luck, it’s a superstition.
No fear of failure at anything new, 
Every day there’s a new proposition.

But when bad luck does come to visit, 
It visits in a small trinity.
This set of three is just bad luck, 
Three fingers from divinity.

However, I do watch for black cats, 
And ladders

Superstitious Mind

If I can cast evil, by directing my vision.
To cause damage to some one’s life.
If my offerings to the gods,
can enhance my blessings.

If tonsuring my head,
I can gain the compassion of gods. 
If every day I kneel and pray,
the gods are pleased with me.
And bless me accordingly.

If all the rituals l sincerely perform,
without fail can

The Superstitious Gambler

Fate knocked me down with two balled fists
robbed me of all with evil twists
disabled and a mass of pain
and left with naught of lifetime’s gain

Rock-hard times hit, no friend in sight
no-one to share my sorry plight
cash ebbed and dwindled at fast pace
starvation hence was what I faced

Disturbing thoughts kept creeping in
e’er prompting:  try your
