Poem Artwork

hearts are wild
passion plays
love antes up

passion raises
calls the lover
show your cards

he folds -
busted

the house of cards collapses
time for a new deal

moral of the story:
sighs, mixed with tears
make lousy mortar
for love

This is a great write, Poet!!! Poet, and I do believe true love is always worth taking a chance, regardless of the final outcome. I truly enjoyed how you have built this incredible piece of poetry. I always hear this phrase ringing in the back of my mind, no matter what I am doing or trying to achieve in life… To be or not to be…that is always the question!!! I also believe that if we do not venture out of our makeshift cocoon, we may never find the answer!!! Once again you are right, one must always show their cards, and play the hand that is dealt to them. You have to know when to hold’em, and know when to fold’em, Poet!!! I think your mind and poetry are second to none!!! I enjoyed this very much, Poet Sara Coslett!!! Thank you for sharing your remarkable talent and wisdom.

I think I've played that game a time or two in my life, and busted out, too.

Interesting write, Sara.
