Are you feeling lucky!

Luck was no more,

a chance given,

a window,

an opportunity to use, 

to take on,

a brighter future,

or see the prospect

disappear and remain

in bad luck,

an opportunity missed,

a roll of the dice

to go to jail, 

left pondering

on the monopoly;

where's me get out of

jail free card.

I believe we all have a window of opportunity - unfortunately that window is often visible in retrospect. I love your use of metaphor in this well written little gem Andrew. Well done. :) Julie

i am so unlucky ...i don't like to gamble but if i watch some sporting event and choose a side ..they will most assuredly loose ... winning for me is so impacting i recall the last time i won...three cakes in a cake walk .. in fourth grade ... i was embarrassed to try again ...Catholic upbringing told me it would not be cool ... i gave two away and one fro me mum! ;)

Smiling.. that game really does represent life or .. is it the reverse. Such a clever use of it, anyway, Andrew. As to your final phrase: think we all need an escape at times, frequently, often... all the time!?
