i'll raise your half-time show with a
cultural awareness suit.

gimme yer ante.
i'll toss in a valentine, to boot,
if ya wanna bet fer my heart.

my love for you
has no finish, no endzone start,
no part of misunderstanding,
no business making sense.

my love for you is a game of
gin, a penny million a point, rummy melded
in books, nothing added up right except
the size of your irises when too much light makes
way into the center of a field

deal me up like a paper
heart..
spade me.
follow suit.

diamonds are
gallant,
reflective,
refractive,
rainbowed.

gambles have
treasures

like
that.

i'll raise your half-time show with a
cultural awareness suit.

gimme yer ante.
i'll toss in a valentine, to boot,
if ya wanna bet fer my heart.

i'll vouch for it.

in spades.
in spades.

Hi mindbum ....

Love is the only gamble worth investing 100%. Without doing so, you can't win!

I didn't see the game either. I'm not much of a football fan. I LOVED the half-time show, though! I did watch that! Paul McCartney! I *had* to watch and I'm glad I did! ..... no, you didn't miss anything by not seeing the game .... Just poetic license... Metaphor. That's all.

I've used many games as metaphors in my poetry. I particularly like using card game images and chess and scrabble images.

Thanks for reading!
