Awoke, then awaking

Fool-fears rule,
numbers and omens fed dread,
superstition addiction.

Friday 13th awoke,
and shook, bonds broke
took a look in the Book –
no capricious ‘gods’ or fickle luck
in charge,
but able management
with ears to hear,
supporting power
will make good
in time.

Superstition is addictive yes. Friday 13th puts some people on edge and makes them look for the dark side in everything. 'Ears to hear, supporting power will make good in time.' words makes me instantly feel more relaxed.

Thanks, Jane. Good to hear from you. And yes, these things can be very addictive and enslaving. The 'ears to hear' was a reminder of being able to take your fears to God, and 'talk it through' as well as ask help, and the 'will make good in time' to realise all the troubles aren't necessarily removed at once, but help given and all trouble and evil will end!

I agree with all this Jane, and further I believe this 13 business is in fact a self-fulfiling prophecy. Very simple.

All the best! Tom

Agree with Jane, your poem starts off tight and jabby then unwinds into calmness at the end.
