Cross your fingers.

Stay clear and cross not their path,

Protection from the sun umbrellas can do,

and keep you dry when rain arrives.

Author's Note

Tell me what you think! Just something fun to write about, but not sure if it's written well. I wrote and rewrote it, so you tell me about it! For the record I don't believe any of this . I just wanted to write about it!

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

Yes, your writing is perfect and you covered the subject well. I try not to tempt bad luck, but neither do I go around purposely trying to ward it off.

[Deviant Works]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. A pleasant, lighthearted write which dived straight into the world of the heebie-jeebies. There were some parts that brought a smile to my face, other parts where I laughed, then times when I got brief chills. I have tripped over black cats, strolled right under ladders, dropped mirrors with my butter-fingers. I have done every thing that I shouldn't and yet I am alive, unscathed and roaring for another round. I guess I got Someone looking out for me.:) I loved this. And by the way it was perfectly written and ended.

[Adrien Hupp]

[Valentine]

I am not into charms or talismen..I simply put my faith in God..valentine

[Sara Mercury]

The paragraph about umbrellas, the word 'fine' should be 'find'.

Other than that, it's cool...

[JanieB]

Oh, this is excellent. So brilliantly put!

[Rossen]

Always something to catch my eye , mind and heart,
keep the dance circling around us..

[Brad]

[Tina Kline]

This is delightful and fun! Who knows if they're fact or fiction but they sure to tempt us to try them and to believe. We want the good luck and to ward off the bad luck,
