Lucky Guess

05/09/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



Our first date was to a fancy restaurant.

I arrived before you and took the liberty

Of ordering a drink for you

        “Espresso Martini? How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a grin.



For our second date, I suggested a movie.

They were showing classics at the local cinema

And this week it was Labyrinth.

        “My favourite. How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a smile.



On our third date, I bought you flowers

From a stand in the park,

Red carnations tied with a bow.

        “My birth flower. How did you know?”

“Lucky guess,” I replied with a laugh.



During the fourth date, I dared propose

With a ring of gold studded with garnets,

And I wondered, out loud for all to hear,

“How did I end up with a woman like you?”

        “Just lucky, I guess,” you replied with a wink.

Lucky in Love

How I wish to wish

Upon a falling star
That my knight in shining armour
Is not very far.

How I wish I’d see a penny

And pick it up for luck today
And all my dreams would come true
And Mr perfect would walk my way.

How I wish I’d find a clover

With four leaves instead of three
And my dashing prince charming
Would come dashing over to me.

How I wish that love

Was as easy to manufacture as luck
Then I would have not a care in the world
And be happy as a pig in muck.
