If I didn't have bad luck
than I wouldn't have any
Just telling you right now
what it's like to be me
Now I don't have a temper
I really don't get mad
So many things have gone wrong
I'm starting to feel sad
"When it rains it pours"
As I heard someone say
And that's exactly how it
feels around here today
So I will count my blessings
slowly one by one
And listen to the birds
sing in the rare glorious sun

Great flowing write - don't switch the sun off Christina.
Thanks Michael! No, I will enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
Let's not believe in luck - I don't anyway! then we will have neither good nor bad luck! And why must rain always be wet?! heehee.
You are too funny! Thanks so much for stopping by Orchidee!
Sounds like my sort of days 🙂 Loved your poem Good read
Thank you so much kitcat! I really appreciate it!!
Christina,
A bit sad but a fine write!
I hope the sun has shined all day long for you!
~Laura~
The sun has! Thanks for the read and reply, appreciated very much!
Thanks CHRISTINA ~ The TITLE belies the content of the Poem ! It contains some paradoxes ! Without BAD LUCK how could you recognise the GOOD ? Without RAIN (real & metaphorical) how could you enjoy the SUN (it's only 60F in the UK today & rain !) If you had never experienced DISAPPOINTMENT how can you count your BLESSINGS ~ To everything there is a REASON and a PURPOSE to everthing under HEAVEN ! Loved the elegance of the Poem and the last STANZA reflects the happy girl inside you always wanting to share her JOY !
SO ~ I WILL count my Blessings
SLOWLY ~ one by one
And LISTEN to the Birds
Sing in the rare glorious SUN !
Power of Positive thinking ~ AMEN
Thanks for sharing your DAY !

That's the only way I CAN look at it or I'd be crying! lol Thanks so much for your wonderful input! Appreciated as ever! Abrazos-Christina
Very good write and may the sun always shine on your life.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain"
Thank you Andy for that very inspirational quote!
I love your positive ending! I love your first two lines - "wry" is the word - and damn it that the pen broke! Some days you can't win for losing.........
Thank you Lorna for the read and reply! I appreciate it!
I hope the storm passes soon and the sunshine warms the soul.
Thanks so much laser, it is appreciated!
