Ace Up My Sleeve

And A Feather My Pocket

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

The fractured light of the candle conceals my excitement

I hold the ace close to my chest

In pure amazement, the crow feather I found, on the ground, is lucky

    Nice spin on the prompt, Kelli! I might be a weirdo but I quite like crows and do not see them as unlucky at all.
