The Sneeze Poem by Randy McClave

Whenever there's a short breeze
I will remember this when I hear a person sneeze,
It's based on a Japanese folklore
That I will remember and believe forever more.
I don't believe in mind readers or fortune tellers
Or horoscopes or tarot cards sellers,
I believe in what I see and what I do hear
As I make myself and my belief perfectly clear.
In Japan when you sneeze it means one of the following
It is your soul coughing and calling,
Wanting to let you and also others to know
As the breeze does blow.
One sneeze means someone is saying good things about you
Which is both honest and true,
That should bring a smile to your face and into your soul
Saying 'Gesundheit! ' should be the immediate goal.
2 sneezes of course means something different completely
A thought that comes out discreetly,
About you someone is gossiping or saying bad things
To which the 2 sneezes brings.
3 sneezes are the best to always hear and to receive
They are honest and pure they do not deceive,
As if though the sneeze was sent by angels above
3 sneezes means with you someone is in love.
4 sneezes or more means something else
Which can impact you immediately, especially your health,
When you hear four or more sneezes get away quick
It means someone has allergies, or they are getting sick.
