The Gambler

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

T ime wasted, soul lost and money cremated,
H ands clasped, slouched and head spinning,
E ven though he knew deep down there was no chance of winning.

G ut wrenching and guilty plagued feeling,
A lcohol consuming,
M others trust and bond breaking,
B laming but yet still craving,
L ies told, excuses made, if only the f+ck+ng rent was paid!
"E choes" from within bouncing around inside his scolded mind taunting and persisting,
R e-bet re-bet.

Quirky with a very nice sense of timing and great ear for sound. Really eye-catching. Nice work. Edit: echo's should be "echoes."

Thanks for reading and for the help,
I will change now. Many thanks.

Wish I could draw like that! Great poem - heart felt!

Many thanks @andysantics48.
I'm sure you can draw even better then that :)

I've been playing some games for you lol - i don't really know how it happened but oh well - if you play some too you might get something out of it

Thanks for that, lol I played some the other day, but only 3 games I think. If I win don't worry I send you some of the winnings.

Oh no you don't have to do that - did you tell him you'd played coz I've been really slack at that and he can't figure it all out himself lol

lol I cant remember, I might go and play some more if I get some time though. Unless you want to carry on for me,lol

Wow, you've got writing and drawing skills..... AMAZING!

Thanks, Very kind.
