Great collab by you and Bob.I love the way you have compared the games with the pain of love.

Once love's bite a sweet rush telling
Now a heartache's river swelling
Grab the ring discarding shame
All is fair when love's the game

I especially liked this stanza.
Excellent job by you both. Imagery and word choices were awesome.
Love Cindy

Wonderful poem. I wish that I could choose my words to be more like the ones you chose. However I typically do not have the patience for that. How long, on average, does it take for you to come up with a poem like this?

What an excellent collab. I especially love the ending! You guys should do another. It meshes so well, you can't tell it is written by 2 different people.
