The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Misfortune

If I didn’t have bad luck
I’d have no luck at all
so says the dreaming pessimist
his back against the wall.

The truth is our misfortune
is not eternal blight
as bad times are the counterpoint
that give the good times’ height.
