    WOW!

    I'm either really wrong OR?

    This is an AMAZING & FANTASTIC TRIBUTE & REFLECTION OF?

    The Voice of the Silence by H. P. Blavatsky

    I don't gamble much...
    but i think my conclusion are correct?

    either way it's 50/50

    FANTASTIC!

      Alas, Billie, I am not so well read. I am impressed that you are ☺

      Perhaps I have drunk, unawares, from one of the same wells as Madame B, who sipped at many.

      I imagine this poem might do well as an incantation for those who play Two-Up, mate. 😊

      Thank you for reading, Billie.

    All I could think of was 'May the odds be ever in your favor' - watching too much Hunger Games....

        Of course, one can always say 'Let's flip a coin.' But why say in four words what can be said in forty ☺

        When the forty words are worthy of their own silver coin, then bring them on, I say!

        'A pint for me and a pint for my friend here!
        This silver coin is recompense enough for the two pints and a score more!'

        Well done, Sir grant! Spare but pregnant at one and the same time.
        Many likes for this one!

            Grant you say why use four words when 40 will do so I look forward to the epic that you write about rolling the dice. On a slightly more serious note you have a gift for seeing beauty in the simplest of things. Thank you for sharing

              Now there's an idea: roll of the dice epic. I like it!

              That is very gracious of you, Parkinsonspoet. Thank you. I think part of the remit of poetry is to find the complexity in simple things and to simplify complexities. Both are in evidence here on the Zone.

                So if I find the complexities in a simple thing and then use poetryto simplify them am I not back to:-

                A shape
                A plane shape
                A shape with symmetry
                A shape with sides
                A shape where equality is manadatory for shape sides
                A shape where the sides must be more than three
                A shape where the sides must be less than 5
                A shape where angles must be right and equally
                numerous as the side
                This shape should be numbered but not a
                round number not a multiple of two but a singular number
                A shape number 1

                I think we are ridding in the same caravan here- footsteps apart but heading in the same direction. Good!!

                  Ah, but whence travels this caravan, the second?

                esoteric, enigmatic,haunting !
                at first i thought ... Julius Caesar...the die is cast!...then my mind jumped to the 7 chakras of the the Divine, then when reading the lunge of a lion and in the next line the piebald world, you had me upside down grant hayes !Nicely done in a compact 6 lines....
                Reading the other comments now, as usual, my thoughts are a bit different and then one and the same!
