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...  ~ all you can really ever expect out of life is a good apology and some decent poetry ~ |

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...regards, sudhir |
