The Precursor

The precursor
- - - - - - - - - -
Like the first robin
As a precursor of spring
My left eye flickering
My right palm tingling
And not an exception is
My foot desirous of itching
And with fingers crossed
I keep guessing
To know the old saying
When flickers the right eyelid
It's said to be good
And when flickers left eyelid
It's said to be bad
But what would happen
Good or bad
Curiosity deepens
Sickness if it's left
Happiness if it's right
And the tingling palm brings richness
But what about the foot that itches
It denotes a travel soon
To hell or heaven
Funny it may look like
But when things happen
And incidental it comes upon
May we say it coincidence
Of events taking place in chain
Either of sadness or happiness
Happening inconspicuous
And it's turning authentic in the course
And what would you say
Of a token of nature
As a superstition
Or a premonition
Or a precursor
Like the first robin
Signalling the coming of spring
As the king of season
