All In
« on: September 12, 2014, 10:50:10 PM »
I tripped and tipped
my cards too quickly,
well before the call.
No draw, no bluff,
no cuffed-card option,
two plays remain
and I won't fold.

Maybe you'll win. ::) Word choices reflect the topic well and the position of the N as a gambler who won't give in but will risk all, a hint at recklessness rather than level-headed and calculated judgement.

Nice sounds in this Marc. ;)

Nice work, marcus ... if i may...?

my cards too quickly,

No draw, no bluff,
no cuff-card ploy,

No, you may not. Stay on your side of the table and keep your hands where I can see them. [insert poker face smiley here]





Morning, Man -  Thanks

No, but looking at my avatar, I assume that they are trembling in fear :)

Have a good one, Mark.

Driving the kids up to Zoo. Maybe the beautiful sight of animals torn from their natural habitats and thrown into cages for my amusement will inspire me to write a real poem :P
