POEM STARTER

Write a poem about taking a gamble.

Your interpretation can include the classic ideas associated with gambling, or something more metaphorical.

House Always Wins

No skills required life

Eyes open to blinking lights

Clanging bells rattle my pillow

Morning bounces on a spinning wheel

Black or red

How did I get here

Pull that one-armed bandit

Sleepwalk through another day

Constant drone of cacophony

No daylight

No clocks

Time passes maybe

Tuck my luck into a plastic tub

Sleep a few hours

Under heavily patterned randomness

Then back on the floor

To throw the die
