April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Eleven

 


Day 11 Prompt: Prime Number

Form: Dizain

 

"Hit" 

 

I’m praying at the black jack table, I’ll

“Hit” on hand of seventeen. Ace dealt out.

Lady luck has a beautiful smile.

Always dealt the best, take the lower route.

Eighteen is strong, but I need the payout.

I feel it, this is the time I tell her.

This makes the bad luck worth it. Voice bolder,

“Hit!” I am dealt 5 diamonds. Bust. Hope slips.

The waitress doesn’t stop at my shoulder. 

Dealer smiles, taking my stack of chips.
