Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Gambler

    From side to side
     beady eyes dart
    just a-playin’ the game
     horse before cart

    betting with wild abandon
     without a leg to stand on…
    lips drawn, tightly sealed
     face a mask, nothing revealed          

    shifty eyes, swivel seat
     shifting sands of time
    cards flutter up, then down
     ~ sifting fortune's meltdown
