Ace of Hearts

Ace of Hearts

A Poem by Hippy
"

A dream i had last night and i already found her meaning

"

Pokers the game

So many cards

In my hand

I search in search

Through my endless flop

Of a thousand cards

I spy my ten

Then the jack gives me a wink

I feel her warmth

In I spot my queen

The king

Hand in hand with his queen

They are all the same

Hearts be their suit

As I search I cannot find

The one, the ace

With the largest heart of them all

She eludes me

Hiding, hopefully behind the next card

My hand is to large

The cards keep coming

The dealer starts throwing

But with each card he flings

I keep seeing pointless

Twos, sevens, and threes

Where oh where is my heart

That I seek

I like how you can turn poker into a truely amazing piece of work here. I don't believe I'll see the game quite the same, haha.
Great write

Pretty bad a*s, we could mix my card based on with this. they seem they would flow together.

Your heart is there....most likely, at the bottom of the never ending deck that life likes to hand you....I like the write, its choppy, which is great for a dream piece.
The lack of punctuation made me rush, stumble, stop, re-read...and you know what? It works.

oh - I love this! some great images here with the cards but how you seem to relate it to your heart and love adds so much to this piece.

great work - love it!

An interesting metaphor to be sure.

This one had more mistakes than I'm used to with your work. Missed possessives, missing letters, and then some lines that just made no grammatical sense (In I spot my queen)

Other than the cavalcade of silly mistakes, this is again what I expect from you. It's interesting, I like your perspective, but I don't feel any soul behind it.

Where oh where is your heart, indeed.
