The Friday Fling Gets Lucky!
Friday Fling #190 July 27th 2012
We understand how we must be responsible for our own behavior. And we know how valuable our friends are. But do we realize how important a little luck can be?
Good fortune, Lady Luck, however you want to put it, personal honesty includes the need to consider how luck can make a difference. Fortunate circumstances of birth can affect opportunities as well as the other elements of success, ability and drive. Who you happen to meet can get to know can also make a difference. And we all know what it means to “get lucky.”
So this week we thought we’d explore the nature and role of luck in our lives.
To express this in an alalytical or story form, we’re suggesting you try Free Verse. Some of you already use this form regularly, which is really a lack of form, providing maximum flexibility in expressing yourself. As ShadowPoetry.com explains:
Free Verse
Free Verse is an irregular form of poetry in which the content free of traditional rules of versification, (freedom from fixed meter or rhyme). In moving from line to line, the poet’s main consideration is where to insert line breaks. Some ways of doing this include breaking the line where there is a natural pause or at a point of suspense for the
reader. Following the direction of Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound and T.S.Eliot, many modern day poets use this particular form of expression.
Ode to Job
Job came down
in a
woosh, outstretched
and gliding into the horizon.
Blue shadowed
flight
arrested by
the beckoning marsh.
His greatness bears
much
yet not
the anguish of ancient
prophecy.
Situated grievances weigh
feathery
on this long,
strong back. Unconscious
emotion
numbs while
time drifts out
another
sun salted
day.

Screemin all the while
Dont do this are that

Whats the matter not
Oh Lordy give me a break

Hello everyone and welcome to the Friday Fling. I have some out of town friends staying at my house tonight and never got my poem written but I will try and have one in the early morning. I will be here for a little while to check in and keep on writing.. also in the morning.. :love:
Lucky Believe
When you`re feeling unlucky’
Just look arond and see
Many are worst off than lucky you
Not even a clue how much so
Know I have thought about this before
How one has more than another
Like a job man goes in no hire
Next week another man does and gets hired
Rather timing or who he knows
Time Tell All
Just like some have a nicer home and more money
It all has to do with timing
Not about one being better than another
We are all equal
Nor one luckier than another
We are all lucky
It is when and who we are born to
Time tells all ‘
Frineds same way it is which stie we are on
as to who we meet and greet to be blessed in heart to keep
Which shcool we go to as to classmate friends
and where you go all thoughout your life to keep adding friends”:)
Who is at the same place you are at the same time~
Again, Time tells all
Ever notice one wish was like them
If only you knew about the past
You may find you are happier, luckier
than they are
Always the grass looks greener on the other side
Until you cross it
So, who is to say who is lucky
Who shall judge the lucky one
Each is lucky
Luck in timing
Lucky in own ways..Believe :love:
Off the cuff…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m so lucky
And so thankful
For my friends
And family
Not everyone
Has that sort of luck
For help
When in a bind
to give a lift
And get back on
Their feet
To start all over
Once again

MY LUCKY STARS
*^*
Is it luck
Are
Am I the lucky one
To be here
I look back on times
When things could be better
Are maybe not
But the where I am now
I know that
Its not only luck
That I be
Its also the faith that
I am
For what reasons
I do not know
But I am the care taker of my clan
From babies
To the elder I am
Why me I dont know
Maybe cuz
I dont know the word
” NO ”
I count my lucky stars
That I have many friends on the internet
That I have never seen
But keep in contact wit every day
One way are another
Better friends
Than I have in real life
Cuz me real dont even call me
Are come by
I am the lucky one
And I count my lucky stars for
That I awaken to a new day
Ever though it be hard to cope most times
Wit what I go though
Never been appreciated
For what I do by most that I do for
But sum how I think they sill love me just
Because
I am the lucky one
That I can git up every day
To greet my friends
Behind the screen here just to say hello
And I count my
Lucky starts each and every day
Just to be
