The Gambler



Eyes wide,
Dreams in my heart,
I walk into the fire.
My soul believes in forever.
Does he?



Patricia Gibson-Little

Author notes

I found fire listed as being one or two syllables.  If you don't agree with my use, show me why I'm wrong.

    See this to me is what poetry is all about!!!! some writers can write on and on and say some very wonderful things,others can say the same thing with fewer words and I admire both!this is just outstanding!

    Thanks Tina... fire is one of those words I wouldn't dispute either way. rhyme.poetry.com has it listed as two, and that's how most people (I'm in Texas) I know pronounce it. When I pronounce it I can't decide, but I'm leaning toward one; as dictionary.com has it. LOL What's odd to me is that the site above has mire and dire listed as one, go figure.

    Thanks for your comments.

    I think it just depends on how you pronounce it. Down here in the south we pronounce it slowly like fih-re. I have only found one syllable but I know there is plenty of dispute about it.

    Anyway - this is a powerful cinquain, speaks volumes. you've done well. good luck
