About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

That Four-Leaf Clover!
Prompt: Write about shamrocks in your Blog entry today.
-------
Shamrocks! Am I right to think that you mean the bright green clovers, often associated with Ireland and St. Patrick's Day?
If so, although most shamrocks have three leaves, the four-leaf clover is what I am going to write about, today. Maybe because I like things that are a bit different and hopefully more advanced.
Science, however, says that the fourth leaf on the clover is a mutation, and that's why it is uncommon. Still, because it is uncommon, finding one feels so special, as if almost coming across a tiny secret.
*Each leaf of a four-leaf clover is said to represent: Faith, Hope, Love, and Luck.* Symbolically speaking, that is. There is nothing scientific or botanical about this.

I bet this is because we humans have always tried to give meaning to nature. I remember pressing flowers into my note-books when I was a teen. Unfortunately, I never found a shamrock, to the best of my memory, during that time.
Yet, I found one many years later. This may just be because good things appeared when I least expected them. Perhaps that real luck isn't in the plant itself. It's in the moment of discovery, the noticing, and the believing. Maybe the fact is, luck has something more to do with attention.
Then, sometimes, that attention is magic enough.
