We're both playing the game of love
Will we lose
Or will we win
Roll the die, pick a card
Don't lose a turn
You gotta play hard
to get
How do you win the game?
Where are the rules?
They're written in our heart
Let's start at start
My game piece is a hand
and yours is the one that will hold it
if we win

Nice. I really love this metaphorical poem. It was very well done. :)

Great metaphoric piece!  The only thing that seems odd is "You gotta play hard to get".  To get what?

I liked the part that said "Don't lose a turn" I don't know why, but it just made me smile(: This one is also very nice, metaphoric pieces are always good :D

I Like it alot. Very much, the ending was very sly and cute. But strong at the same time.
