Did we once spar over stars?
You, swearing allegiance with Orion
in all his belted glory; me,
counting the constellations in your smile.
You taught me everything I know
about roshambo, spades,
……………….hearts
and the art of origami.
……………………I fold.
……………………………………..You win.

This one won a Top Row Seven spot!
This is simply awesome!Loved,” me,counting the constellations in your smile.”
And,of course the last two lines are superb-succinct and emphatic 🙂
Lovely–Great ending with “I fold.”
Don’t totally get it, but I like it 🙂
Liked the usage “constellations in your smile” 🙂
Lovely word play. I very much enjoyed this. 🙂
I like the last two lines and the different meanings of fold (fold origami vs. throwing in the towel.)
So many layers, so few words….
I didn’t enter this week – couldn’t think – I like this – is different and the last line perfect. Actually my last entry on this blog though not for this is a gargleblaster lol
when opposites attract.
Your word play was so poetic and romantic it caught my breath.
what a way to lose. 😉
I love all of the layers and nuances of this piece.
Layers of winning and losing, like skin in between smiles and stars! Great take, De!
This is simply breathtaking. Beautiful word play, I love it so much!
I agree with all of the above, except I do think I get it! “constellations in your smile” being an excellent image. The title, too, is excellent.
Love this! “I fold. You Win.” Just perfection.
one word for your 42. exquisite.
That first line- fantastic! This whole, piece, how it tied in one thing after the other, particularly at the very end, going from cards to origami to the fold. Absolutely love this piece!
Hooray for a bit silliness.
The ending kills it, just outstanding.
I dig “I fold” right after mentioning origami. Nice word play.
I really enjoyed reading this one! Wonderful flow, and thought-provoking word play.
Thank you all, so much.
Aw totally cool. I love it. Two world’s colliding.
