Some skins shed, stray, when Fortune spins flawed dice,
One moment white they pray, the next play black,
May here run hot, cold there, protect p[l]ayback
Expected to reward their wayward vice.
They one day feel real cause for ‘yea’ concise,
Heart lost then costs may chart, ‘nay’ reason, - lack
Intrinsic worth, commitment, cards they stack,
Now twinge, now cringe, unmanned in land of mice.
Grows [s]he who glows true faith, to Paradise
IS constant, caring, bearings keeps on track,
ROws through Fate’s flows, knows never cul-de-sac,
Tries, wise, to seed, weeds out, flouts bad advice ?
Temptations easy lead to queasy ride,
ENduring strength most fickle fools deride.

Magnificent!
This piece is WONDERFUL!! I must admit I have never read a piece written in this way before. Where have I been I know! Wow I trully don't even know what to say! The rhyming was Amazing it flowed like nothing I have heard before! Where did you get the idea for this poem?! You have trully caught my curiousity on this one. I guess it's by luck that I happened to stumble upon it. I have been looking for new writing styles! Thank you for this pleasurable read!
Words are just words, unless there is feeling!
