Raise the Blind

by Karma Hope   Oct 3, 2006


Next time i'm going to keep my cards close to my chest,
And try to be the one making and running the bets,
And when you raise the blind in the game, I'll say call,
It is going to be heartbreaking to see your downfall,
Two friends that was fooled when you tried to bluff a lust,
In the end it was your play that caused you to bust,
I know lust is blind and you didnt see $hit,
You did a Stevie, went all in with out seeing the odds,
But no matter how high the stakes, remember you have two friends there for you and never will be lost,
And as for me...i'm going to keep my cards close to my chest,
I'll have a poker face, while high rolling making the bets.

**Lol, this poem came from me having a bad weekend a couple weeks ago and I thought I'd add my love for Texas Hold Em' in there... I love this one heaps....

    Karma Hope,

    Nice, This is more of a poem than the other on you gave me.

    Nice job and a very suggesting, pulling and relative Title. Well ti seems you are a better writer of what you have been thorugh and experienced. The first four lines are the best lines of teh poem.

    In the below line
    "Two friends that was fooled when you tried to bluff a lust,"

    "was" should be "were".

    In the below lines
    "I know lust is blind and you didnt see $hit,
    You did a Stevie, went all in with out seeing the odds"
    use of slangs ruined the seriousness of teh poem. Please try to do without slangs, there was such a nic eflow before these two lines.

    "But no matter how high the stakes, remember you have two "

    I cannot make out why you did end the above line at those particular words or why you made ti so long. "have two" could have been in the next line itself, but still the above line is the add man out in the poem.

    "I'll have a poker face, while high rolling making the bets."

    The ending line is good but it could have been phrased better. I Would prefer the line to read

    "I'll have a poker face, while rolling high; making the bets."
