Place your bet...





I missed the deadline for Saturday's challenge at dversepoets.com  Three times 
a week they offer opportunities to enter your work/poetry...please check out some of the great entries today....we are asked to write about a surprise, something totally unexpected, 
perhaps an epiphany...I decided to post it anyway for fun..


How many Grecian coins in a row? 
It's all rigged I was told
Expect to not win said those in the know
but I felt bold

Din of bells, racket, some cheers 
lady with cigarette hypnotized by screen
Faces blank, reflected in mirrors
only the third time I'd been

20cent, 60cent, $1.00 -
safe bets to play for hours
Modest wins, bigger losses under my collar
What is the chance Zeus shows his powers?

The same way I won, I think I'll get out of debt
But I'm losing now, time to leave
Last 80cents,  one more bet
Machine awakens - wait!! Five Pegasus' leap!!!

Icons spin, scattering windows trigger more
Adrenalin flows; gambling is addicting fun!!!
Loud fireworks
I dance a circle on the floor
Bonus jackpot...oh my God, 
$1000 I won!!!!

    1. Thanks for stopping by...yes, it is real but I did take a bit of poetic license as to the exact amount ;-)

  2. This made me smile as I remembered the last time I was "dragged" to a casino :) I found the people watching the most interesting part of being there! Looks like you're having a good time with your writing - excellent!
