Deck of Cards

Deck of Cards

A Poem by H. E. Schreiter

It has a heart

But no one to love


It has a diamond

But no one to wed


It has a club

But doesn’t hit


It has a spade

But doesn’t dig


It’s used for war

And leisurely fishing


It’s used in the living room

And sometimes the kitchen


It helps you win


It makes you lose


Which will you play


You have to choose


It can make you rich

It can make you poor

If you play for money


Lady Luck’s game


One of chance


One of mystery


Always changing

With a flick of the wrist


Never ending possibilities


You could win big


You could lose everything


You could just make it by


It all depends


On the luck of its draw.
