Superstitions

Okay this contest is about superstitions. You chose one you know about and write a poem about. It could be a superstition about love, death, good luck, bad luck, etc. I want really cool ones and not common ones. The winner will be one with the most unusual superstitions that is also a well written poem.

Here are the rules:
1. Keep it PG.
2. No bad words.
3. Don't do any common one. By that I mean stuff like the black cat, mirror, that little salt thing, you get the picture.
4. no prewrites.
5. You can enter up to three.
6. You can write as if you're a doubter or a believer.

I wrote a poem about this contest I was hoping to do. If you want to see it just hit this link:
