This week, my challenge came from Michael Webb at http://innocentsaccidentshints.blogspot.com/ You should stop over and check what he has going on. The challenge is at the bottom of the post. It threw me for a loop but I tried to take it from a relatable angle and somehow came up with yet another poem. I know, yawn... I'm sure I'm boring you by now but thanks for reading it anyways!
Will I Ever Win?
I keep playing
But no closer to the end
The victory
Or perhaps the defeat
I should pick a better game
One with less risks
One with better odds
Something that requires little skill
And even less investment
It’s easy to win
When there is so little to lose
To go forward with reckless abandon
All in
With no regrets
Much easier to lose
With so much at stake
Such a bet to wager
A gamble
No wise man would make
Will I ever win?
That remains to be seen
But I will keep playing
Stay in the game
Live through the twists and the turns
Learn the lessons as they come
And play again
Wiser the next time
So my challenge was this: Fleetwood Mac once asked, in "Rhiannon", "Will you ever win?". Will you?
Yeah, so Fleetwood Mac is not my specialty but I do like this song and the story behind it. I am including the video and the Wiki facts on it just as an FYI. And yes, I realize that my take on the challenge really has nothing to do with either but the intention was good if that counts.
My challenge for this week went out to Wide Lawns at http://www.widelawns.blogspot.com/ and it was done with fantastic talent. Go check it out!
