Hi
What a deep and meaningful 5-7-5 poem.
Which describes addiction with such vivid imagination.
The dramatic word play is fantastic which strengthens your statement brilliantly.
and a great picture to accompany
Mitchell.

Too true! Well done five - seven - five is easy to understand and delivers a worthwhile warning using very few words. Excellent choice of artwork. Great job!

Your statements hold much truth. The addicted gambler has a believe that next game will eventually lead him to wealth. He gambles, gambles and gambles until he has nothing left to gamble. Subsequently, he gambles with his poverty.

You did an excellent job describing the lifestyle of a addicted gambler.

If your time permits, please read my poem "I Am Your Addiction."

Thank you for sharing.

Nicely written Short 5-7-5 poem. When I read this I see I see an addictive gambler is trying to get out (maybe I'm wrong, sorry if I am). Love the picture chosen for this poem, makes the words come alive. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the contest

    Thank you for your review. You are right, but once caught in the addiction of gambling, you want more and more. Even if you want to get out you can't.

    Your welcome. I agree. Any addiction whether it be drugs, gambling, etc...is the hardest thing to beat. But with faith anything is possible.

Yes, this is addiction. This is a fine 5-7-5 which creatively expressed a message about the perils of gambling--poverty. I especially like your use of pandemonium to describe the gambler's reaction when he turns up empty-handed.

This is a fine poem. Thank you for sharing. I wish you contest success.
