The cards are on the table The losers heart is on the line Should she gamble on this drifter? And the look there in his eyes? If she plays it safe and folds Will she miss that one great chance? Should she take anothere card? Should she place another bet? Luck is a lady, but a cruel one she can be. She whispers...take the chance There are never any guarantees Place your heart here on the table Ante up all that you are Love is a pot worth winning Take a chance there on that star. |

Reading these challanges has been a lot of fun. This is really good! I like... "Luck is a lady, but a cruel one she can be. She whispers...take the chance There are never any guarantees" so true, so true, so true!!! -jaimie Website: www.ladysixstring.com |

Paula this is fantastic. Love is one big gamble I guess, but oh when you win, how delightful. Juls |

Paula I echo what Ladysixstring stated. Those were my favorite lines also. You've met this challenge very well indeed. Excellent poem. Garfield |

Lady luck has been trumped by the queen of hearts in this little number. be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
