SUPERSTITIONS
Growing up on a farm, your poem struck a chord with me, Garden Lover. We raised both layers and fryers.
As a kid, I submitted several chickens for show at the County Fair. But after all that love and hard work, all I had was a red ribbon and a drumstick. Indeed being an edible pet is an unlucky fate.🐔🍗

Dont step upon the cracks
On that footpath where I walk
the pavement and the road ahead
some steps are long, some are short
I lay that map within my head
I have that crazy paving gait
the fissures black, dictate the way
malevolence, the undertow in wait
just one false step, halt that convey
No luck will ever me befall, no Holy Grail
no crock of gold on rainbows tail
just to survive and onward stroll
as Hades hands grasp at my soles
I will be attacked by trolls
writhing, screaming, none can hear
and dragged into big black potholes
no trace, as I just disappear
The devil needs new girls and boys
to dress in red and be his toys
and humour him when he gets bored
I do not lie you must take my word
the pavement and the road ahead
some steps are long, some are short
I lay that map within my head
I have that crazy paving gait
the fissures black, dictate the way
malevolence, the undertow in wait
just one false step, halt that convey
No luck will ever me befall, no Holy Grail
no crock of gold on rainbows tail
just to survive and onward stroll
as Hades hands grasp at my soles
I will be attacked by trolls
writhing, screaming, none can hear
and dragged into big black potholes
no trace, as I just disappear
The devil needs new girls and boys
to dress in red and be his toys
and humour him when he gets bored
I do not lie you must take my word

Black felines
A circle aligns
Nice witches dark cocktails brew
From those work only but a few
New and old,
Old and new
Sue is a witch!
Burn her too!

Final Score- Superstition Competition
The dreaded dawn is introduced
The innocent become accused
The words like poison upon the lips
Once brought to life, the sorrow sits
The hand is set though you can't move
For what you've done, you can't undo
Leaving home and every step
Leaves a mark of your regrets
You had to do it-this you know
The screams you hear will never go
The sun has left and you return
A miracle? Or lesson learned?
The score is settled, to your dismay
They lost that goddamn football game.

When trying to stay updated on what's happening in the world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant flow of news. I’ve found that it helps to have a go-to place for quick, digestible updates that don’t feel like they’re overloading you. For me, https://www.sspdaily.com/section-news/ has been great for that. It offers a variety of articles that are easy to read but still informative enough to keep you in the loop without all the noise. It’s nice having a resource that simplifies things, especially when the news cycle can feel so hectic.
