I do believe that luck is part of life - nothing that a rabbit's foot can add to or a broken mirror can take away. Nice strong closing stanza. Very well written.

Perfect photo for your poem. Although I may not totally agree with your opinion, you did write a great poem. I don't nessecarilly believe in rabbit foots, etc. but I don't believe some things are from good and bad luck. I used to believe more your way, but I've been pretty ill for the last 1 1/2 years, and I don't believe that "god" would put me through this. Anyways, great poem, it has nice rhyme and it flows well.

The phenomena of luck, truly does exist. The reason this is true is because statistically speaking, some individuals are always winning. I personally know of several who goes to the casino on a regular basis,and are way ahead of the game. I like your picture, it really drives what you believe, but are you completely accurate?

Comment from Elizabeth Daniels
While I agree that 'lucky' symbols such as rabbit's feet are pure folly, I do believe that people can create their own luck, good or bad, through how they live and treat others. Although it debatable whether that can really be called luck. Elizabeth Daniels.

Some good advice in your poem. To live a life finding strength in faith is the way to go. However, your poem is narrow and not universal in nature since it is meant only for a Christian audience. You seem to be proselytizing in the last stanza.

Hi Justin
To be honest I don't believe in good luck or Jesus Christ - wonder what that says about me, LOL
For me your poem reads a little awkwardly in places, hence the 4 star rating.
Kind regards, Pete

Comment from Scarbrems
This is interesting. Some nice parts, a bit of humour, but there's not much of a rhythm to it. Some of the lines are far too long, upsetting the scansion and this line:
"Ladders and black cats are too stagnant to be a bore."
is a contradiction. I am intrigued that in a poem about the fooloshness of superstition, you end by endorsing the biggest superstition of all time.

Comment from kiwisteveh
You make a strong point, and one I agree with, but I found your expression of it ordinary rather than poetic. You have chosen not to use fixed meter and your rhyme is a little random, which is OK but as a reader I hope to be compensated by some striking imagery or forceful, imaginative language. Instead I get some rather curious expressions:
a world old fables - what does that mean (or is it a typo old = of?)
Ladders and black cats are too stagnant to be a bore - meaning is unclear again
