In 500 card game
The open misère bid
To lose all tricks

Handed a deck of
Twos and
Threes,

Yet expected to have
Kings and
Queens.

You have anything less
Than a jack?

Prepare to be a reject....

While playing the card game “Euchre”
The phrase you've been “Trumped” causes furor
Yanks have been thumped
Or perhaps “Trumped”
It's not just a card game, it's much crueler...

The Atlanta Braves
losing in the Wild Card game.
          Done for the season.
                   There will be no World Series.
                             They just have to wait next year....

In a card game we welcome a trump.
With a trump an opponent we stump.
But we’re not playing cards,
and the earth lies in shards.
Time to carry our Trump to the dump. ...

Trump In Crypt

Trump had slowly slipped,
Into what was well kept crypt;
Than to China shipped.

Jim Horn

Started a new card game called,
"Bringing in the trumps. We shall
come rejoicing bringing in the
trumps....

Without my mind made up
My hand is forced
But this isn't a card game
Consideration time isn't my advantage 
In fact without cards or made up minds
This situation is just spilled inside thoughts and broken hearts
With time and space sat knowingly on the periphery...

Trumpery has nothing to do with the card game bridge, the trump card
in a round defeats all the others, the most powerful card;
It is the practice that superficially
appealing to many but officially
have very little real value, worthless stuff, one needs to discard.

If anyone has ever played the card game "Nertz" with really good fast players, you will 
understand the words in this poem.

Pressure builds,
Woundings, kills,
Daggers thrown to targets
Marks are hit,
Many are missed,
Passing arrows give me chills.
A starting hush,
A voice makes us rush,
Let insanity begin!...

Today as any day,
No more, No less.
Programmed obliqueness.
Awakening,
Shower to clean,
Breakfast to UN-fast.
PC and Poetry, for the mind,
Wal-Mart to refurbish,
Then we dine.
PBS,
PC and Poetry,
Card game and munch.
Supper,
TV,
Then, bedtime.
Today as any day,
No more, No less,
Scheduled obliqueness.
Silently, more or less....

there they sat—
four cultures
of american children:
cheerful innocence
of the world
outside—

their greatest challenge
the card game
they played:
winning was
of no chase
just getting to the end
of the carding race—

if only they could be
the leaders
of tomorrow’s
world:

peace
would be satisfied
and war
a misunderstood 
card game…...

[acrostic]

ASK that the moon and stars coat the city in silver
NOT the gloom that presages a storm
GREAT danger looms to a world indifferent to humans with
EXPECTATIONS of treating life just a card game
RATHER submit not to a reality capricious as a wayward wind
END the lunacy of tempting fate with bravado; accept
DREAMS a mere pursuit of clutter in a closet....

Protecting one's good name
Not a kid's easy card game.
Who does climbs towards fame,
Who squeezes it buys shame;
The picture not the same....

Better one an old dame,
Clinging to her good name
Than princess of just blame
In morals badly lame
One's good name is one's flame;
Really, the thing men claim. 
Thus, you must n't it maim;
Remain - not wild - the tame!...

You come along to disrupt my life, after many silent years
Plunge in with your manipulation and lies, playing on fears
What gives you the right, to turn my life upside-down?
While keeping truth from me, as always, wearing your crown
    --- Like a Queen of Spades in a card game of Hearts ---
         --- How far will you go, ripping lives apart? ---

Once in a while
Watch blackjack style


We sit around
Cash stakes now ground


A card game here
Works luck's sweet gear


A stash of cash
As high cards flash


Cash and plenty
Now comes to me


This new vintage
Piles new mintage


The banker wins
As cash comes in


Blackjack and more
Now floods my stores

Life is a river in spate, with froth, noise and rapid pace, some currents are eddy, some flow so smooth, on its journey to the vast ocean. Do not resent the knots that block the flow, for the more knots you undo, wiser you become.

fortunes good and bad
life is shuffling the card game
learn to play not blame

A baccarat player will just adore a natural nine.
No other hand in the game is so fine.
The worst he or she can do is tie.
That is the best card pair nobody can deny.
When any nine combination comes out of the shoe,
just sit back and relax.  There’s nothing to do.
Baccarat is the card game James Bond would play.
From the first movie up to the modern day,
to win, double o’seven would always find a way.
