Four-leaf Clovers Do Exist

I actually began to think they were a myth.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

We, in unexpected Lizardplanet.com fashion, participated in a writing prompt. The prompt is seen on our post titled, “Hopscotch.” But, we have to participate in one final prompt (chosen by who, I’ve no idea) because it’s so strange that the prompt for today, 11.16.23 is “What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?” and we found something really cool less than 24 hours ago!!

Well…

Just yesterday, as Murph and I were outside,

I was admiring him, and just to the side

I spied a treasure and my eyes grew wide

In awed disbelief, admittedly, was I

For I then peered, and I poked

Through the greenery, sunlit soaked

And afoot in the shamrock patch nicely cloaked

Was a four-leaf clover, maybe just for me

That Murph and I sat there, was it meant to be?

I didn’t feel right taking it, but alas

I plucked it from its home of shamrock and grass.

I hope to Earth and clover it’s quite alright

that I keep this once-in-a-lifetime delight

To rest in our home, as a good omen in our sight

We researched the meaning of a four-leaf clover, thinking we’d find something very ancient or esoteric besides what is commonly known today. That didn’t happen, but we did find some supposed facts:

When I managed a restaurant, a waitress there, and a dear friend, would step out for a smoke break and occasionally return with a four-leaf clover. She gave one to me, and I gave it to my mom. She found them with such seeming proficiency, that the last one she showed to me was inspected by me to see if there was some trick of attaching a fourth leaf to three-leafed plant. Looked legit. I couldn’t explain it.

I have looked occasionally throughout my life for four-leaf clovers with no luck until yesterday!! I had no expectations, I just passively glanced over & saw what appeared to be four leaves on a single stem. I thought, “Nah, it just looks that way because the plants are so close together.” Luckily, I was incorrect in my presumption.

Her name is Lucianna, and I don’t know what Murph was feeling as he saw her. He actually kept both eyes closed most of the time that he was near her. There are possible reasons for that, but we’ll clover that another time.

“Give me Lizardry or give me Death!”
