Little Bit of Bloomin’ Luck
“With a little bit of Bloomin’ Luck!” Alfred P. Doolittle sings in My Fair Lady. I know exactly how he feels! Who doesn’t wish for a little bit more luck—bloomin’ or otherwise. That’s what makes Saint Patrick’s Day one of my favorite holidays. Four leaf clovers, horseshoes, pots-of-gold, leprechauns, jigs, lucky charms and wearing green. It’s all about conjuring up luck and having fun while you’re at it. St. Patrick’s Day is this Sunday, March 17th, let’s celebrate by writing some lucky poems to celebrate.
If you had a bit of “bloomin’ luck” what would it be? What would you do with a lucky charm? Write a poem about it. Here’s a list of St. Patrick’s Day related words. See how many you can use in your poem:
