The challenge is to write about the mating dance as a game of chance..... cards, dice, roulette, any gambling vehicle will do...

but the poem must contain the word Ante...

I'm already in the game with

'The Ante is a Kiss'

any takers?

sounds interesting.... maybe fun... trouble with a game of chance, though, is sometimes you get taken... i might have to Check out my muse, pour myself a shot of Gin, Dice up my wording, and see what i can come up with ... my Auntie Penny used to hang out at the casinos and she taught me a few things about gambling so that could be a good source of inspiration... if i write it, i'll Dart back over here and post it... hehe...

well yesterday I wrote a playful one in my head for the challenge, but before it got to paper another one wrote itself......I don't think it matches the heart of the challenge.....but I posted it......
sure is good to see you here rebel....even if I don't have time to look as much as I would want

Well, I don't know any gambling game... and a mating dance to me is just like a rain dance or a fire dance...   but I will try it a try... anyway...
