A Game OF Cards I  Poem By Agastya

One day four players sit in a ring,

Hoping that they will get the win.

Even a paper feels like gold,

As 52 secrets lie to unfold.

At the time, there is a fortune in hand,

Of cards on the holder understands.

The game starts,

The table clears.

A game of minutes,

Feels like of years.

The round begins,

So, the triumph is declared.

Sorrow to happiness,

 And happiness to despair.

7 are important,

Or in some the ace.

Sometimes the jester,

 Or any other face.

A clever illusion,

A trap is laid

And kings lose their crowns,

 To wrong decisions made.

The last card is dropped,

And the trick is won.

The cards are packed up,

And the evening is done.
