Out On a Limb - Quintain

The sky is the limit we are told.
We gamble our choices on a chance.
However, we tend to strive for more.
If we break even, we chance again.
What hard choices we tend to have.

Many roads we travel without luck.
Money in our pocket no time for games then we are given a whim.
Our ventures are what can eventually destroy us.
What a hard choice I have to make and will.
I will take the risk and will not reveal the ending.

Much truth in this cleverly written Quintain. Well done my friend. Thought I would drop by and say thank you for all of your kind words about my work, it means a lot! I hope to see a poem from you in my contest! If you haven't already pick up that pen, its filling fast!!:JP)

I have enter Jared... Your last contest, although I am Poetry Diva, was a bit to much for my injuries. I am recuperating from multiple physical problems and I could not fulfill the complexity of the write because of fatigueness. Thanks for your supportive remarks as always. Hugs and kisses Verlena...
