Roulette

ROULETTE My twisted mind Had everyone blind No symptoms Not a single sign! I want to forget everything, Living a life of no regrets, Facing the sun Ignoring my debts Wiping of the cold sweat, Taking another drink from my sweet tea set. My life, a game of “RUSSIAN ROULETTE,” there is no positive or negative. A game of slip and slide, Opened wide Put a gun inside Staring down the barrel A quick pull trigger, gone sterile I give thanks to another day. Madness, I've gone insane Lots of money down the drain. Initiated gum pops, Broken lemons drops, Tainted temples, Upon another turn, I dream of no shame! Always saying 'NEVER!' To this life, I scream “WHATEVER!" HIT ME AGAIN! by;p.d I wrote this poem, and dedicate the poem to my gambling addiction... ha ha, I miss it... he he he.... JK

how funny. Without even realizing which poem I had come to the last one to leave you a note, I ended up at the same one today to talk to you again: well, Craig had helped me redo an old poem in Yoda "speak" but I felt that since I did not do it myself, I would just forget about it. If I had more time,I'd maybe try to work on something but wow, your contest is closing Sept. 6, huh? I hope you got a lot of good entries . If you did, your winner list will still look great!!

thanks for saying I could enter it, but I am thinking people might see I did it and think bad about me, for entering it when the rules said not to. Anyway, I hope your contest fills quickly now. Have a great day, PD. I need to hurry off and get ready for work. Luv, Andrea

The majority of my experiences with gambling have been vicarious ones. As a dealer, I've seen what it does to others. I think to myself: "better them than me." Another fine write.

The poem spins like the game, and a pure mastery of words took us inside to like this tragedy. Bravo!
