Time to play…
Cards: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 11
Playing cards swiftly shuffle
Playing cards smoothly slide
Dealt directly to aristocrats
Dripping in diamonds.
*
UNO cards colourfully clump
UNO cards frantically flip
Ebbing — flowing — player to player
Until first one ‘out’.
*
Ligretto suits stubbornly stall
Ligretto suits chaotically climb
Hands and cards blur in motion
Adrenaline spikes.
*
Some cards are fought over
Some cards form fragile ‘houses’
Silently solitary or raucously rowdy…
Playing cards entertain.
*
Written for the prompt ‘Cards’. Ligretto is a ‘cardio workout’ where simultaneous sequences are played as everyone attempts to discard their cards first. It’s one of my favourite card games!

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I love how you used different card games in this and showcased the different ways cards can be played, including solitaire, by the rich, or by family/friends playing a rowdy game of house rules UNO.
I've never heard of Ligretto before. It sure does sound fun. Loved your poem!
Nicely done, Angie. I had never heard of Ligretto, I will have to look it up. I am intrigued.
I've also never heard of Ligretto! Sounds both fun and intense!
Great job!
I never heard of Ligretto. I assume it’s a game. This was fun.
