Paper Poetry Prompt # 3 : Roll the Dice

Original poem, Roll the Dice, handwritten by author, Connie Song .on stationery by Peter Pauper Press, inc.

Champagne and stars intoxicate the night, black tie rsvp required, his fragrance lingers, the band romances, like a magnet pulling me closer,

and he might as well cash in his chips, spin the wheel, roll the dice,

Somehow I can feel it in my bones, this will be his lucky night.

Note: It was fun writing this original poem, then featuring it with my original handwriting on fancy stationery. A thought popped in my head that resulted in the image below, my original words written with a script art format on Canva, superimposed on an inspired photo courtesy of Unsplash. Just for fun. Just wish I could write this calligraphy.
