POETRY

As Luck Would Have It

A double etheree poem about taking chances

in a word languishing as days crawl by and I yearn for change staring out the window wondering how I got here was it due to one big mistake or the compound result of missteps innumerable taken over years

starting a new chapter later this month already second-guessing myself will it be different this time is it enough of a change a risky maneuver reckless abandon another spin on the wheel place your bets

Thanks to Melissa Coffey for introducing me to this etheree form.

I’ve been writing poetry on Medium for several months, exploring mostly non-rhyming formats. Eventually my repertoire will expand to include more rhyming pieces, but the acrostics, Fibonacci, and tritriplicata styles have kept me engaged so far. They are a different kind of creative writing and present fun challenges.

Other poems I’ve written that play with syllable structures: Mosaic, Go with the Flow
