Six-Word Couplet Series

Compensation
Necessity lends wings
weaving silver strings.

Ways of the world
Not yet wise
learn to surmise.

Gamble
Roll the dice
pay the price.

Blind-man's bluff
Blind faith can
divinize a man.

'Till the end
Life is rare
tend with care.

Criminal
A barren mind
dark and unkind.

Fall
Cascading autumn leaves
my heart bereaves.
