You're quite right. Who knows what it is or why we're here? We may as well take a chance on living it to the full instead of just musing about its meaning.

I think this Naani, in its limited number of words, tells the story of of lives. Sometimes, or most of the time we are serious and committed to high ideals...we never know our destiny. It was a pleasure to read.

Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Mary, your title is very clever and the first 3 lines are, indeed, metaphors. They also make a case that life is fun. But "just a preamble" suggests a mystery or a warning or a life not yet imagined. I love that you turned the fourth line into a challenge. Well done!

Comment from Alchera
Yes! This well-written Naani Poem is completely right!
"Life is a gamble,
A game or a dance,
Or just a preamble.
Who knows? Take a chance." Beautifully described within the contest required syllables counting, (here 21) and its four-lined format. I love it and my chance is:
"Unfortunately, life is a cigarette smoke: first, you smoke it, and then you throw it away!" Great work!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Yes, according to songs and old expressions, life is all of these--and a cabaret! Your poem is very descriptive, creative, and delightful. As you say, no matter what metaphor we apply, we must live it, chances and all.
