           Little Lady Luck

These rivers of words before my eyes
Deliver a tale without surprise,
For I have sailed this story once before.

My fingers attempt to turn the page
but linger and wilt in summers' rage.
This young September sun I can't ignore.


An ally, the shade betrays his oath;
Allowing the rays to beat us both.
We shrink beneath the oak of which we lie.

Conceding the win to sun and earth,
I yearn for the day of Autumns' birth,
Then start to stand and tell my tree goodbye.


But there on my knee I feel a touch
Of slightest degree but just the such,
to make me stop and take attention there.

A princess of love in black and red
And giver of luck - or so it's said.
A little ladybug, minute and fair.


I study her there upon my knee.
She raises a hand and waves to me.
It gives me hope and reason now to stay.

Along comes a cloud; the sun is gone.
She's hidden in veil upon her throne.
And lady luck and I enjoy the day.

My goodness, you need to have your own book... your own book of poetry. Outstanding! Sauni

Loved this!  Should you ever meet up with the little ladybug again, or another, please give her my love, all the way from South Africa.
