Four Leaf Belief

wikipedia - four leaf clover

Dreaming in fields of green clover
the sky a luminous blue all over
hidden within a treasured four leaf
faith, hope, love and luck leaves of belief

melodic bagpipes play a soulful song
a magical place where legends belong
twinkling of emerald isles bring relief
faith, hope and love and luck leaves of belief

spring plays its windswept tunes
daffodils and primroses in bloom
shamrock or clover a wondrous motif
faith, hope and love and luck leaves of belief

dreaming in fields of green clover
faith, hope, love and luck leaves of belief

  1. I especially like:
    "Dreaming in fields of green clover
    the sky a luminous blue all over"
    and
    "spring plays its windswept tunes
    daffodils and primroses in bloom"

    What perfect imagery for the day, Truedessa. I've had the song, "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" in my mind all day. Your poem remind me of it again.

    1. Hi Jennifer - I do wish spring would hurry so the spring flowers can bloom. The red-winged blackbirds and robins are back. I am happy to listen to their songs.

  2. I like how you use repetition to teach about the meaning of the 4 leaves. With these 4 who will be led astray.

  5. I like the use of repetition in your poem, Truedessa. I used to love searching for four leaf clovers when I was a child, and I found a fair few – just not much luck!

    1. Hi Kim, A lot of clover grows around here and on occasion I will find one or someone else will and gift it to me. I keep them in my dream journals.

  8. Very nice! I wonder how often a four leaf clover occurs? Or rather how often do people find them.

    1. Hi Alex, they are rare to find but, I have a good eye and if I look around a bit I usually find one. I met a lady on my walk and she found two in a row and gave me one on a day I really needed a bit of joy. She said "bless you - walk in peace"
