Chance Bet

Pretend I'm lovely

pretend you don't see

the Pandora's box in me

be forewarned my friend

you fathom a glance

or attempt a peek

your soul will shudder

your eyes will burn

your mind will cease to be

convoluted pandemonium 

will wreck your speech

you take a big chance

when you place your bet on me

I disagree with you my friend!! When one takes time to look "inside" and "past" the outer facade the view settles on a very loving and charming one who has had more than enough of the unpleasant and unbearable side of life. It is said the diamond shines brighter when it is subjected to more cutting and polishing. Why some diamonds have to be put back into the tumbler again and again seems to be unfair, and at times it is just that....so dang unfair, but it is what we call "Life" in all its ugliness with the beauty. So guess what???? I am betting on you!!!! In my book.......You sparkle!!!

Are you trying to make me cry Shelia?! That brought a tear to my eye, you are SPECIAL, you always have the nicest things to say...much appreciated, truly!

[Sheila Kline]

Not trying to make you cry my friend....just give you reason to realize how special you are!!! Hugs!!!!

[Frieda P]

Yeah you are worth the gamble. You actually have a very beautiful and deep exterior and I can feel it through your energy and through your poetry as well.

[Frieda P]

The poetry was strong today. Nice write.

Loved this poem!

I'm a risk taker. And I'm also the type that reads those warning signs and wonders what happens when one crosses that line and pushes the damned button they tell you not to touch. you're on! :)

[Frieda P]

Pfft! You, you can handle anything...figured the rest of the people should be forewarned. ;-)

[CS]

NOW you tell me?

[Frieda P]

You like to live dangerously dontcha? ;-)
Have a Happy New Year!

[CS]

Oh, yeah, I am a big thrill seeker, Frieda. I am just really scared now because you have now outlined all the side effects of visiting you and "convoluted pandemonium" is not sounding like too much fun.

Have the happiest of new years, lady. I wish nothing but the best for you.

[Frieda P]

Well you know I have two sides, I'm a Leo, so you could get the pussycat or the Lion...I'll warn you ahead of time! ;-) Same to you....

[CS]

Well, I am a Leo too....so, I understand :)

[Frieda P]

[Baby Ricochet]
