Chips
April 10, 2013
Fifty-two royal rectangles
Each hiding a different ecstasy
Seven lay in my palm at angles
My hand, which you cannot see
I can conceal my solid, steel grip
Of majestic, stately septuplets
I feel my blank expression starting to slip
My brow, once again, I knit
Tossing my faces upon the frigid, grainy wood
And feeling a smirk toy with my lips
I'd mutter one word, if I only could
With music in my lungs, I'd say "chips"

Haha, I also thought this would be a munching-crunching type of poem. but TaylorWintry, this is awesome! I know close to nothing about poker (...it's played in a casiono sometimes?) but this poem makes me want to learn it. And the way you string your words together is frickin georgious! Good job!

Your title is so misleading! Omg. I was expecting this poem to be about (my favorite) the yellow bag with the red label saying 'Lays'! Haha! (: But, even still, this was wonderful. I had no idea what it was about until I read the last line and then I got out of my stereo-typical hair color blonde moment and was like omg, poker! I don't know how to play either, but you made it sound so sovereign. I liked it a lot! How smooth it was. Word choices are excellent. Great job!
