Made to dance in the palm~
of a loosely balled fist
Where lady lucks sweet breath blew~
in want of fates assist...
Fortunes own shining duo~
polished to entice
Young fiends from their innocents~
to pay the pipers price...
At last with the flick of a wrist~
& the out folding of fingers
Chances self is given to flight~
in which no caution lingers...
Once down touch the tumbling pair~
allowing no look back
Destiny settles into place~
before the bets upon her stacked...

This piece evoked "Alea iacta est."
Before madness sets in as an insider's credo: If they're not throwing you out, you're doing something wrong.
And here in lies perhaps the pieces intent making its case for destiny's behalf that some should never wager at all.

I LOVE Dice! Both this beautifully penned poem and those square little suckers! 'Specially five of 'em in Yahtzee! They call me "Mr. Yahtzee." I love all five of 'em heedin' my call t' show up together identical from my laid out palm! 'Specially 'n' most often the sixes! Boxcars times two 'n' a half! Great work, Missy!

Makes me wanna head straight to Vegas, which, incidently, is my dog's name : )
I'm sure most of us know (and have experienced) gambling's haunting tune that lulls one in... but who knew it could also be poetic when penned by a talented Miss?!?
Thanks for the read : )

| Excellent. I think we have all experienced the pull of that power...that one chance that we could win. Very powerful draw lady luck can have on us. A fantastic piece. |

Like many other vices it can be so easy to always say "just once more and I'll get lucky...". The trick is knowing when to stop or it can be a downwards spiral.
Great write, you really got inside your friend's mind for this one!
Take care,
Dmo |
