[hometext] => Win, lose or draw?
[bodytext] => Looking across the table In the smoke filled room I watched his face As he made his next move Perspiration ran down His bearded face Like rivulets of rain Running over a rock There was no expression Only a placid emotionless face His eyes were narrowed And hardened like the gray steel of a gun "It's your bet so draw," he snarled With much impatience it seemed Was he bluffing Or was his hand that good There was a lot of money at stake But I was in too far to back out now So I matched his raise, And there was a hushed silence in the room Everyone else dropped out It was just he and I now One by one we laid all our cards on the table The winner would be wealthy Just then I heard my name called again It seemed to emanate from somewhere within Then I blinked and the banker reappeared in front of me Well the loan was approved But the interest was quite high We played a verbal game of poker, And both made our best offer With further negotiation the deal was made But the parking ticket on my car financially spoiled my day I guess life is just a game of poker [comments] => 4 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
