Today, in honor of the potential luckiness of the number 13, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that, like the example poem here, joyfully states that “Everything is Going to Be Amazing.” Sometimes, good fortune can seem impossibly distant, but even if you can’t drum up the enthusiasm to write yourself a riotous pep-talk, perhaps you can muse on the possibility of good things coming down the track. As they say, “the sun will come up tomorrow,” and if nothing else, this world offers us the persistent possibility of surprise.

Everything terrifying has an eggshell of beauty Stained in skin is hope Marrowed deep are chromosomes Of not just survival, but joy Remember the yin and yang Of this sweet and sour life A tornado in the pink of spring A delightful poem in the mind’s World wide web of synapses
