House of Words

House of Words

If you wanna write
You gota try hard
Think of your mind
As some playing cards

Now build a house
Using your deck
Carefuly placing
cards on there edge

But they
keep falling down
So you learn
how to bend

Just like the
words
You so perfectly
meand

Now its starting
to stack up real neat
Feeling so proud
Untell a slight breaze

Your house fell down
but the words are still there
So you pick them up
and put them in pairs

This time its better
little bit stronger
You took your time
And it took a bit longer

After you build
a thousand card houses
You start to wonder why
They always fall down

So why do i put
my self to the test
Always end up
in an old mess

all the words
Worked well at home
But where they belong
is really alone

So outa respect
and just to be fair

Instead of
trying to bend words
 Ill just relax
And play solitare

Super! 
I really liked the metaphor of the deck of cards and how it pertains to life in general. We take chances in life; we create new works that we gamble with. I liked the form and the imagery the best. So glad I found your poem. 

Favorite lines

But they
keep falling down
So you learn
how to bend

I took this stanza to mean, how we find balance in our life. Or, how we have to go with the flow sometimes to make life's little ups and downs bearable. Nice job.
