Love is like a game of cards

Missing image
Love is like a game of cards,
you win, you pass, you loose.
Life is like a poker game,
depends which bluff you choose.



And in the game of life and love,
there are the Kings and Queens.
They rule love's game in their own way,
at least that's how it seems.



Sometimes Jacks come out to play,
they're a joyful bunch and kind.
It happens they overrule the Kings,
but isn't it true that love is blind.



However they can't live without,
the nine, ten, two or eight.
The 'common' numbers of life's game,
they'll set the balance straight.



Then there are the Joker's,
they've lots of rules, not always fair.
When you let them play your game,
keep watch and take good care.



The lowest of them all is Ace,
but sometimes he's on top above
and that's the moral of this verse:
don't give up the game of love.

    I've read quite a few romance related card entries now. The last stanza is really good, but the last line breaks the rhythm and makes someone stumble to the end. If you fix up that line it will give the reader that perfect sense of satisfaction at the end of the poem. Also, the pictures in the middle are unnecessary, I think we all know what cards look like in our minds.
