This week Sadje wants us to reply her question.

Do you believe in luck?

I do believe in luck to some extent. I believe that sometimes unexpected and fortunate events occur that are beyond our control, and we refer to them as "luck." However, I also believe that our actions and decisions play a significant role in shaping our lives and that we can create our own luck to a certain extent through hard work and determination.

For example, if someone works hard towards their goals and puts themselves in situations where opportunities are more likely to arise, they are increasing their chances of experiencing positive outcomes. In this sense, luck can be seen as a combination of opportunity and preparation.

On the other hand, there are also instances where bad luck seems to strike out of nowhere, such as unexpected accidents or illnesses. In these situations, it can be difficult to see any rhyme or reason to the events that have occurred, and it can be easy to attribute them to simply being "unlucky."

Overall, I believe that luck is a complex and mysterious force that we may never fully understand. While it is important to recognize that we do not have control over everything that happens in our lives, we can still take action to increase our chances of success and happiness.

    Very well said Inkwell. We can never have total control over what happens in our lives and to us.

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
