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.
