I tend to shuffle between the deck but I won't gamble with my heart I'll make my own mistakes when the cards don't fall my way. If I lose the chance I took I'll cut my losses when I'm down before I play another hand I'll pass a couple times around. I'm a winner just for staking but I've often been mistaken I'll take two and raise you double and bet against the odds. [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (12-18-2002 02:19 AM).] |

 (sigh) That's what all life is about, making risks and letting your heart be revealed even while many may disgrace your philosophy! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A heart is a terrible thing to wager~~ So I wised up and quit playing the game. Thanks to you all, and thank you Coco for the bump up! |

Lori~ Nice, reminds me of the Eagles song "Desperado" "The Queen of hearts is always your best bet" Being a gambler of sorts I really like the card and betting approach you took with this poem.I hope someday you win the big jackpot...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

Playing such a game isn't a problem ... it can be quite enjoying, just use a smaller wager. Your heart should be for a sure thing!! Always - Craig |

A good gambler knows how long to sit at the table, and when to double the bet! You are worth all the wagers in a casino, Lor. Tight and word-wise, my friend! Jeff |

Thanks to all you good poets. I wrote this a while back and it's odd to read my mood over. I've moved on to the 'crap' table, and play by my own set of rules these days. Nothing remains the same except for the heart stuff. thanks again~ |
