Don’t you think AI art really helps illustrate my poetry? Check out this excerpt from 'I Got A Deal For You.' It's in my first volume 'A Pocketful of Poems'.
We both know life’s a game of chance with
winners and losers, and we’re a pair of dice
thrown by drunken gods playing the odds.
We hit the table hoping for snake eyes
and bust out when the toss turns otherwise.
We’re survivors, then, you and I who try
and keep our faces to the sun. Clutching faith
and what’s left of broken hearts and loves
we hold on, praying for moments of grace.
