Luck Poems
The Parting of the Column
by Rudyard Kipling
We've rode and fought and ate and drunk as rations come to hand,
Together for a year and more around this stinkin' land:
Now you are goin' home again, but we must see it through.
We needn't tell we liked you well. Good-by - good luck to you!
You ‘ad no special call to come, and so you doubled out,
And learned us how to camp and cook an' steal a horse and scout.
What ever game we fancied most, you joyful played it too,
And rather better of the whole. Good-by - good luck to you!

To Luck
by William Stanley Merwin
In the cards and at the bend in the road
we never saw you
in the womb and in the crossfire
in the numbers
whatever you had your hand in
which was everything
we were told never to put
our faith in you
to bow to you humbly after all
because in the end there was nothing

A Change of Fortune
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was an invaluable bank teller, loving peaceful life and daisy blue sky days,
Like yellow sun warming sweet seasons, inducing vibrant, natural displays.
I left for pleasant work every day, with a determined and practical purpose;
And I was happy in my job thoroughly, as colorful clowns at a golden circus.
My friends and I would lunch together, like milky stars gathered in the sky,
And we laughed at the mellow sunshine, like wind will sometimes, going by.
My family passed in and out of rose hours, like moon's hide and seek ways,

Luck is not chance
by Emily Dickinson
Luck is not chance
It's Toil
Fortune's expensive smile
Is earned
The Father of the Mine
Is that old-fashioned Coin
We spurned
Het geluk van een klavertje vier
by Mario Odekerken
Klein en onopvallend tussen het gras,
vier kleine blaadjes vol belofte in stilte gevonden.
Een vleugje geluk uit de aarde geplukt,
een teken dat het wonder soms dichtbij ligt.
Fools luck
by Mario Odekerken
Chance favors the careless
a whisper of fortune
dancing on the edge of fate.
Blind to the warnings
the fool strides boldly
finding treasures in shadows
where wisdom falters
and luck reigns unchallenged.

Blue Moon
by Drew Schoenfeld
In the end
Always glad
I saw you happen
When you saw I happened
There you appeared
Glamorous distant moon
In an orbit that I would happen by
So returned our inroads
From an unfinished goodbye
