What Are The Odds Poem by Susan Lacovara

What Are The Odds

Rating: 5.0


Am I, to believe, in the lottery
That fickle fate, flailing her hand
Could change the landscape
So well worn, with faith
Then carry my feet, new, to stand
On a perfect perched ledge
No longer to hedge
For the riches in life, at command
And constructing, at will
Destiny to fulfill...
Quite honestly, silly...the plan
