Unlucky

an unlucky mouse
lives in a box of matches
the gecko has moved

 

    
 

    
 

How is that for thinking outside the box? Or is that thinking inside...

 

Line count: 3 lines
Form: Haiku
Prompt: This is the 13th round of Whispers of the Soul and 13 is a significant number in a lot of cultures. Some believe it is special whereas others consider it to be evil or unlucky. Some people are even afraid of it, suffering from Triskaidekaphobia. For this round, write a poem that features the number 13 in some way. This could be in the subject of the poem or in its structure, by using 13 lines or 13 words for example. But please make it clear to me how you have used the number 13 if this isn't obvious! And "thinking outside the box" is encouraged.
Written for: Whispers of the Soul. Round 13 Due 11:59 PM 01/31/15
