Time to play…

Playing cards swiftly shuffle

Playing cards smoothly slide

Dealt directly to aristocrats

Dripping in diamonds.

*

UNO cards colourfully clump

UNO cards frantically flip

Ebbing — flowing — player to player

Until first one ‘out’.

*

Ligretto suits stubbornly stall

Ligretto suits chaotically climb

Hands and cards blur in motion

Adrenaline spikes.

*

Some cards are fought over

Some cards form fragile ‘houses’

Silently solitary or raucously rowdy…

Playing cards entertain.

Written for the prompt ‘Cards’. Ligretto is a ‘cardio workout’ where simultaneous sequences are played as everyone attempts to discard their cards first. It’s one of my favourite card games!
