THE GAME OF HEARTS
A game of hearts
Who will win
The whole family loved to play
Challenges with loud voices
Animated laughter all around
Young and old alike
I looked for the eagles yesterday
Even though I knew they were not there
They come at another time of year
It is food they seek in the canyon
When playing the game of hearts
The game can start in the bar
Two eyes meet across the room
You will not have to wait long
Did I tell you I collect hearts
Love their shape
Love what they represent
They remind me of you
When the check comes
He will pay
You are the queen
Lady luck is with you
You will not have to cheat
When you hold the highest card
You win

I think the heart holds all the aces!
When we finally figure out what the highest card is (or, at least, which card means the most to us) and keep it close, we'll always win indeed.
Alas there is always someone who has aces up his sleeves.
Oh it can be dangerous to play the Game of Hearts but I prefer to play as it is so lonely not to.....
Ha, i remember playing Hearts with my grandpa. But we had the most fun with Old Maid.
cool game! :)
A fine selection of games of hearts Annell.
It is good holding the highest card.

Cards games. Who doesn't remember those
Much♥️love
Hearts are trumps! (That takes on a whole different meaning these days) anyway I read each verse as a different game and especially liked the eagle
There are so many ways that we play with hearts! Loved this--the fun and the risk!
Whoa! Never seen you so wild! Great write.

So many ways to play with hearts. I like the variety in your poem.
I loved this layered - and cleverly articulated - 'take' on the Game of Hearts.
I love this!
i still prefer rummy, but i think your poem has more layered, deeper meanings. :)
