If I win the Lottery,
Could happen, I’ve a hunch.
I’ll plan with my poet friends,
To take us all to lunch.
I’ve been playing my numbers,
For quite a lot of time.
I remain quite positive,
Good odds on me will shine.
The lunch would be bright.
Some healthy and fun fare.
I know some couldn’t make it,
Just Skype, so you’d be there!
It’s just a thought of mine.
The Jackpot would be grand!
To see you face to face,
Hug and shake your hands.
But, if it never happens,
On that, I’ll not worry.
In the meantime, let’s forever,
Continue poetic stories.

Now that would be a wonderful gathering, to be sure! I can't wait. Save me a place at the table, WBL.
Thanks! Will do Louis 🙂
A fine write WBL.
Thanks orchidee. I know you will want pie for your lunch 🙂
I also do the lottery in a syndicate at the Hospital where I used to work but so far only paltry sums won. Anyway keep hoping. Love the thought though.
I do not spend anywhere near what some do. Just one group of six numbers, per the game. They say, "You can't win if you don't play." It is entertaining for me. Will remain positive! Thanks Michael.
Am already packing my bags in the hope for that celebratory lunch dear poet-friend. Keep dreaming on for they sometimes come true. xx
Good to be prepared Fay! I agree with you, poet pal. And, I am a positive thinker and I have a good feeling about this!
Great write
Hey Tony - you know you are invited as well! I ran out of time while posting my author's note. Thanks for the comment!
Welcome
How sweet! I know a group of poets that met online much like this. They started a yearly gathering, and two of them married. I'd love to get a hug over lunch with you and the rest of the bunch!
That is such a great story! I have truly imagined doing something like that. Maybe someday. I will keep on imagining until it becomes reality! Thanks so much Heather!
So lovely and sweet! I'd definitely join you all...Lol I can just picture us all getting our notebooks and pens out and ending up eating our words let alone the food 😂
Ha Ha! You are so insightful Hopey! It would not be a poet's lunch without you! I will keep my fingers crossed!
❤️
Wonderful thought on going to lunch! Thanks for thinking of me! Good luck on your lottery. Great poem!
You would have to be there Christina. No way would I forget to mention such a sweet and caring poet! Thanks for the comment! I hope so too!
Super write, it would be great for us to get together over lunch swapping tales and laughing together.
I will keep on imagining Goldfinch! Anything is possible. Thanks so much!
