Beautiful Transaction

He parlayed his handsome,
Against her soft assets.
He saw her and she raised him.
Both folded, spent.
He, a sure bet.
She, a wild gamble.
Together, a beautiful transaction.

ooh la la. I like this metaphor very much. Just coming back to see your first post here. Looks like you started around Thanksgiving. I too started here around a holiday. It was Christmas, right before 2010!

An incredible write. It take a special talent to write like that. I play poker once in a while and after reading this it will take on a different meaning for me. Well done.

I am not a good getter doner! Saying that, I've wanted to hug you, thank you, since you left some wonderfully encouraging comments on a few of my poems. You needn't remember, I'll do that part! Any way, I came to do that and found this clever gem. It brought quite a grin to my face. I'm going to check out another (you enticed me), never know where I will or won't go! All the best ...
