Aced

all our
chips
on the
table

hands set
no more
cards
to draw

she quietly
turns over
an ace

smiles her
win and
walks
away

Ouch. This sounds like a high stakes loss. I hope the next round is kinder to you.... I hate to think of you defeated, even momentarily. *S*

Excellent write!

Hi Jamie

Seems like sometimes the important thing is just to win?

She only won if it mattered to you. If it didn't matter would you have given it a thought?

James, I almost called you someone that you remind me of. In fact, I already had it typed. LOL

You did say a lot between the lines
in this one, Sir. Very thought-provoking
to the reader.  That's a good thing, you know.
