She wasn’t much at playing poker couldn’t lie as it caused her strife she hated board games with a passion Monopoly, Scrabble and Life Games were played all around her her boss played them for money her mother played them for guilt and her husband for a little honey Children came and more games played innocent games of fun but gone now, the childhood games are over for daughter and son At last alone, a player of one the game is on the line the dice are tossed, winner take all who’ll win this game of mine? |

I really like this piece, dear deVine. I'll be sending it to a few of my friends. ------------------ Shall I indulge in flights of fancy hampered by clipped wings? DreamEvil© |

Nice, very nice. The game of life is so much dearer than one thinks.  |

The games never stop - they just become less important as we learn to recognize them. Wonderful, profound words... |

Great poem, the question that baffles me in life is who deals our cards? |

You write like a winner to me! I like the way this one reads. Reminds me of one or two of my own. |

Thank you all! As an aside, this poem came about from a phrase given to me by Balladeer.. I told him I was in a slump and needed something to write about..he suggested a 'baseball type' theme and in the phrases he threw at me was this one: "the game was on the line"...I took it and ran with it...as you can see, it's not about baseball at all. And not really about a game! I appreciate your kind words. |
