Free Cell...

---

Throwing the card back and forth; The queen of hearts between the kings. And that flashing light, It tells me there’s one more move to go One more chance to set things right So I’m throwing the card back and forth And I’m scanning the scene But all I can see are these two sad faced kings Back and forth, back and forth One more chance not to fuck things up Back and forth, back and forth The light’s still flashing But I can’t find my way out Back and forth, back and forth…

This is an excellent piece. The illustration of life as a game of cards, unpredictable, unbiased, is brilliant. This is a stunning illustration of the tumultuous nature of life and it's unexpected sorrows. nice write

Oh my gosh. This poem is... words can't say it. (Like someone before me said) It seems like your stuck in betwwn two. Torn into two different directions that it may even drive you insane. "I had to follow that road, even if my steps were confused and indecisive. Otherwise I would not remain a man in my own eyes. For if I know something with certainty and I am convinced of its truth, how can I deny it, hide it from my closest friends; from the world and from myself?" Milovan Djilas Keep up the excellent poems! ~bree~

ok. well, i'm just gonna throw out what i got from this, and if i'm completely wrong, hey, i tried. ok, well, it sounded to me like you were trying to decide between two things, two people maybe. everytime you thought you had picked the right one, something made you think twice and you changed your mind. over and over again. that little light kept going off in your head telling you that the decision you made was wrong, but even when you make a different decision, it's still wrong. that's what i got from it. just my interpretation. i would like to know what it was really about though. ...bb...

Nice sing song meter, but repetition bores the ears off of me. It works well for lyrics, sounds dreadful in poetry. Subject matter is superb though, as is the metephor. One way to make your "repetition" stick is to find different ways to say it- extend the metaphor, so to speak. A second stanza that solved your dilemma would also play along quite nicely, but, if the indecisiveness is all you want to portray, sounds good. Leaving it hanging was a wonderful touch, by the way.
