Stuff to Ponder (for no particular reason, really)

I penned a number of poems today since there were prompts practically a-poppin' out there in the blogosphere today.  F'r instance, Poetic Asides provided this one, "Better off..."  Three Word Wednesday posted, "affinity, motion and fidget," We Write Poems posited, "guardian angel," and finally (because I kind of missed it yesterday) Carry On Tuesday gave us, "Saved by the bell."  The first form is Strambotto Romagnuolo, the second is 5/7/5 Haiku, the third is a Pensee and the fourth is - well, I don't rightly know, but it rhymes.

Fortunate

Am I lucky?  Is it just that I’m favored?

Or is it how I look at life?  I don’t know,

but whatever it is, it’s seldom wavered

even if it’s a genuine fluke.  And so,

guardian angel, fairy godmother or cosmic aides -

a mix of all three?  I’ve got ‘em in spades.

And while I cannot say if it is fateful,

I’ll knock wood, wish on stars…and say I’m grateful.

I have an affinity

Uh…My Dog Ate My Homework?

Come on!
Ring, stupid bell!
Oh God!  Please - please don’t call on me.
I’m unprepared. Man, I'm so sunk.
Ding! Yes! Saved by the bell!

Better Off...

One time, I wondered
(please don’t scoff)
if I would have been
better off
if I’d been born a boy.
How weird,
‘cause then I’d have to
shave a beard
most every day.
That sounds so blah.
I’m better off a girl.
Hurrah!
