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!!!!
