Luck Poems
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.

in the womb and in the crossfire

to bow to you humbly after all
because in the end there was nothing

Fools luck
by Mario Odekerken
Chance favors the careless

Everything Kills
by Rukudzo Kachambgwa

Even drinking water once it passes along the wrong path
Could kill you.
Even the sadza that you eat everyday
Once injested badly, could kill you.

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;

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,

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
