Kingofcards

 

The regiment of fifty-two

Stack inside the case

Each a solider

Armed with there pips

The rankings go from two to ace

With the royalty having a face

This platoon meets with others

As they form an army en masse

All loaded in a chute

Like troops in a plane

Shooting out one-by-one

As they are paired with another

The stakes are raised

The world leader’s stake there claims.

Others go neutral

They take there money and run

 The soldiers try to complete the mission.

Odds are better when the reinforcements arrive

But around the turn they encounter The River

On where the mission is a fold.

It the second to get it was about a deck of cards. I don't really play card so if it had not been for you name, it would have flew over me...

Ok. You have some really good structure and imagerey going on here. In exp,

"The regiment of fifty-two
Stack inside the case"

This was really good way to start this poem. It also verifies a subject.

Ofcouse, as I said I do no play cards and I didn't get this line.

"But around the turn they encounter The River
On where the mission is a fold"

Nevermind I get it, someone folded.

Great Job Card King. Liked the metaphors too.

I see I'm not the only poker playing poet. The river is a killer,very well penned piece.

It's nice. I like it. It's simple. I like the, whatcha-call-it,....Oh! metaphors. Like Sharpe said. I like how it reflects a poker game to politics, in genral.
