I Believe



My place of worship
The poker room
Where Heaven and Hell
Co-exist

The sense of The Poker God
Permeates the room
Around the table
Sit the wise men
And me

The dealer archangel
Hands out blessings and sins
That anoints winners and losers

Believe or not
I am
Crucified

Very amusing Stan, and accurate. I especially enjoyed the way you divided those around the table into "the wise men and me." That's usually how I feel.

The poker game of life ,
Chips loaded ,
Dye is cast ,
The odds agin ,
Card sharp , sharpening ,
A few come out on top ,
Let the games begin

Another poet who writes macabre like me, brilliant. I loved this.
Short and to the point but with clever use of prose and balance. "The Poker God" is a great saying, can I quote it my book ?
