Thrill seekers
Living on the edge
Tempting the hand of fate
Upon an unsafe ledge
Everyday someone rolls the dice
Confident of the chances
That Lady Luck is on their side
Always with victory dances
They may think
That life is just a game
Until their luck runs out
And they call on holy names
In fact
Life is not a game at all
You might think you’re in control
Until fate steals the ball
In living your life
You’d better think twice
Before you take that chance
And roll the dice

I rolled em, but everything landed bottom side up. nice write, AP.
Thanks Kevin.
don`t trust your fate to luck,it goes both ways
That's the point here Ron. Luck has no guarantees. Thanks for reading and your comment.
Mine turned out okay but I never put money on them - fine work AP
A little caution goes a long way Michael. Thanks for reading and your compliment.
A fine write AP. Many things end up as 'vanity of vanities; all is vanity' as said in the Old Testament.
Thanks for reading and your compliment orchi.
Hi AP! This brought to mind a quote by Beryl Markham: "Life is life and fun is fun but it's all so quiet when the goldfish dies"........... which seems to say nothing and then it does! My mind has always seen alternative options ahead in case something goes wrong...... maybe that's a woman thing.... I'm not off the planet yet so can't say if it's going to always work! In the end there's only one possible ending dice or no dice! My partner is (well was) a man who took a lot of physical risks.... he wouldn't have done anything differently... I had to be the practical one and the balancer but wouldn't have missed the adventures for all the tea in China!
Hi Lorna. Interesting quote. My poem is just a personal view of when plans don't go as planned. And standing back from danger means I'll live to see another day. Please take care in all you do. Thanks for reading.
