For today’s prompt, write a How to Blank poem.
Today, in honor of the potential luckiness of the number 13, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that joyfully states that “Everything is Going to Be Amazing.”

How to Bad Luck
Moriarty is a black cat
born on a Friday the 13th.
I wake up to his staring daggers
like my freshman English teacher
when I was late for class.
He enjoys crossing my path,
making me stub my toe
on the coffee table
while I stumble to the kitchen
to serve him breakfast.
I knock over the salt shaker
reaching for the canned food.
Somehow I just know that I’ll break
the bathroom mirror shaving.
But I’ve welcomed him into my life.
I need more bad luck—
if only for the poetry.
You paid the price for poetry, and Moriarty was pinned as the scapegoat. 🤠😁

Moriarty is trying to reform me but so far it’s just meant feeding him earlier.

I think most cats are smarter than we are! I know my two, Rio and Miss Molly have me wrapped around their paws! Even Sooty the daily visiting cat has got my number. Lol 😆
