Best Gambler Poems

Now there's no old man sitting there,
just an empty rocking chair.
But the things he said will always be around.

The Gambler is now at rest, on a train bound for nowhere.,
and sometimes all the nights can be so long.
I've longed for love like everyone else does,
longing...

He plied the Mississippi River on the paddle wheeler 'Dandy Dame'.
Gamblin' was his profession and three-card monte was his game.
He became very creative at palmin' that elusive ace of spades.
Such dexterity and sleight of hand he had practiced for decades!

He embarked in Saint Louis for...

Propensity sparks
Betting in numbers to win
Probable goals failed.

Tried bet once more though
Best loved numbers didn't hit
Long waited win ends.

Money for other things
Risking bet to win some more 
Awake while asleep.

Dreamt came before dawn
Whilst numbers gone out boxes
Jotted down traces.

Shrewd Gambler wandered
Vivid signs pooped up in...

The steely-eyed hombre stepped down from the stage that sultry afternoon.
He looked about with disdain, then swaggered to the Cripple Creek Saloon.
His hat lay low upon his brow and swung low was a pair of 44's on his hips.
He sported fancy duds and greeted a...

Fate knocked me down with two balled fists
robbed me of all with evil twists
disabled and a mass of pain
and left with naught of lifetime’s gain

Rock-hard times hit, no friend in sight
no-one to share my sorry plight
cash ebbed and dwindled at fast pace
starvation hence was what...

There once was a gambler called Heinz,
Who needed to pay off his fines;
The right numbers he got
For the lotto jackpot -
Alas all on different lines.

*My experience with the lottery last week...

The Gambler…
I asked my mother, she didn’t hear.
	I asked my father; he was in fear.
I asked my teacher, he didn’t know;
	he turned toward me, ready to blow. 
I ask some questions and wonder why.
	What happens to us when we all die?
What happens to grapes...

Let  me not be  hampered  at all.
Allow every chip to fall
I am with spleen displayed
Utterly despaired  with tempid  tears
Soiled and disheveled,--A POST MARKED SOUL...

I have gambled love,
and lost.
I have gambled my money,
and lost.
I have gambled life,
and lost.
I have gambled away time,
and lost.
Is is not about time,
I have gambled on me,
and won?...

I'm a gambler,
yes,it's true.
I play on slots
and bingo too.
I get judged,
it's nothing new
because the subject
is still taboo.
I don't criticise things you do
because I am me
and you are you.
Sometimes I play
all night through,
I usually win one or two.
I've won some jackpots,
infact a few,
decent wins
I do accrue.
Before...

A lonely figure, I stared at the darkened moon sadness lingering numb. Brokenhearted and penniless I sought answers I knew wouldn’t come. Surged my heart against time, I pondered my fate. Confused but filled with conviction I didn’t hesitate. There far off a murmur came...

With wit and wisdom and a cunning eye...
At the gaming table Naomi goes on a natural high.

She mulls the odds and places her bet...
And she's never been a loser yet.

With nerves of steel and a will to win...
And a reputation she's eager to defend.

A River...

I'm the gambler with the empty hand
Even though she believes in me
Through the years, I've folded every plan
Twenty years ago, our skies were sunny

Even though she believes in me
They said, don't fall in love with a dreamer
Twenty years ago, our skies were sunny
As I chased...

It seems you could never stay out of a casino.
As soon as you got paid, that is where you would go.
Your life became dependent on the roll of the dice.
Each crap table visited was as cold as ice.
Your financial ability was shrouded with doubt.
The money...
