Migratory Syndrome

I would bet,
could bet,
every day.
I won't keep,
can't keep,
dreams at bay.
I bet steep
to reap -
make life pay.
I won't fret.
It's set.
I must play.

I learned about "American DNA" when I read Cowboys Full
and believe risk taking is an important tool.
I play poker for many reasons beyond feeling cool.
I recently launched RachelHoyt.com to share my poker stories
and published this list of historic tales which deserved further glory.
To look,
ReplyDeleteTo leap,
To laugh,
Or weep,
The older I get, the odds get thinner,
I'm checking my cards, and eyeing the winners;
Counting the chips, checking my hand,
Hoping to take one last pot if I can.
To look, to leap, to laugh, to weep,
"The plays the thing" the rest is sleep.
:) no words, just smiles :)
DeleteEvery bet lost
ReplyDeleteSomeone's bet won
As cold to frost
And the sun to warm
What a lovely metaphor! :)
