13 | Lucky Bunny
by chicker2
Wriggle your nose and twiddle your toes
Father tell me about lucky bunnies born on the 13th
Lucky number 13 they say
He was born on a Saturday; just missed the Friday cut off.
He squirmed around in her arms like a frightened kit.
Alert
Twitching
Fluid and flowing as water elementals
Favored soul
His heart quick
The world so sharp around him, but he would skip through it
Without a care
A lucky bunny born on the 13th can have no cares
Nothing phased him.
Daring and bounding through life’s twists and turns
Deer in the headlights couldn’t stop him
Wending over winding roads
fast like a tornado
Skipping hills
Galloping along with dragons and tigers in tow
The tiger screams couldn’t damper him
No, he was bravado incarnate
Every 13th day a blessing.
That day this lucky Bunny reversed the curse
Unlucky numbers don’t exist to one so unabashed
No curse could ever set in
Because when you’re a lucky bunny born on a 13th day
there is no such thing as bad luck.
