Is She Joking?
A Poem by
Erica Daubert
My angel and my devil
(on either shoulder)
take nights off to get
drunk and play poker
so I can be a revelation
of guilt-free sarcasm
through written word
and half a laugh.

Dear Erica,
"My angel and my devil
(on either shoulder)"
A commonly used image, but you care this off since you personalize this and make these figure f angel and devil you own. The "take nights off", and "get / drunk and play poker".
Nicely done. Short. To the point. Nothing wasted. Enjoyed.
Very best regards,
Rick

very tongue and cheek.
The idea of an angel and a demon playing poker intrigues me...would angels be able to bluff? hmmmm

Very witty and yes made me smile too.
We all have a little devilish side which loves to come out and play.
