Poker Face

Being distracted by beauty.

You've dealt out every

Card you had,

Hoping you could win the game

But what's behind this poker face?

Something you will never know

You've played your cards right

So far in the game 

But you can't read my poker face,

You're frustrated,

You're mad at yourself

You've played this game

A million times before 

But there's something about this game

That's different...

Struck by the sight of beauty,

Mesmerized by her light brown eyes

She's different, unlike the rest

You can't win this game

And you know it,

You could never match up

To the skills this girl got..

She's beautiful, talented, and smart,

Something you'd never be able to read

Through her poker face

when i was first reading this, I thought it would only be about the concept of pokerface, and elaborate on that alone. But I really liked the twist it took. It was unexpected, just like the woman that was the subject in this poem! I get this image of a man trying to look into the eyes of this brown-eyed woman and 'figure her out', only he can't! and he's getting frustrated....funny image! thanks

I like it, great job! :)

I like this poem...I think I would change a couple things like finding a different word to use instead of game all the time and I would say has instead of got. But overall a great and creative write! :)

hmm, she wins, but does he lose? i like that i'm wondering. is "you can't win" a challenge? somehow i hope so. then again... who knows. very nice!!!

[Jed]

agree with megan

[jimmy]

pretty much decsribes your average player getting beat at his own game. very nice work.

[Aristede Craig Jr]

hot piece i thought then i rethought and i though athe start it would be just like megan said but it became something so amazingly beautiful

[Lively]
