The seven’s coming up again, but doesn’t make me smile. I’ve put most of my income on the ‘Don’t Pass’ line, you see But the shooter was a devil and his points were killing me. - He makes his numbers often, and I’m in such a fright The guy’s so hot that I believe he’ll hold those dice all night But I am not a pussycat, I know he soon will lose, And so, I am persisting, and the ‘Don’t Pass’ line I choose. - I’m following the Martingale, a system meant to win You just keep doubling bet-wise, even if your pile is thin. Well, my stake is going fast, but I stick to the system I bet the last chips in my pile, and for good luck, I kissed ‘em. - So punters all, take note of this, and you will be a winner Never, never double bets, it makes your pile much thinner.

The custom is to post each poem you are seeking feedback for here in the critique forums. If you’re just looking for comments like “this is good” or “i liked ___” the Be Gentle forum is best. If you are looking for feedback that is more rigorous and points out mistakes, ways to improve, suggestions for different directions to go in, the High Critique forum is best. If you are strongly attached to your poem and see it as part of yourself, the Be Gentle forum is best. If you see your poem as something that exists independently from you, is its own creation, and has its own needs, High Critique may have more to offer. If you would like critique on your poems, I would be happy to have a look.
