Jacq of Hearts 2010-11-25 02:31:54 Reply

It's a poem. About a girl. Just read it and tell me what you think.

While I was playing cards,
I met the Jacq of Hearts.
And from that moment on,
I knew we could never be apart.

We talked and we laughed
Day after day, night after night.
I fell in love with that Card
Because this Joker was my Knight.

We were both destroyed,
Rebuilding in this New Place
The Jacq of Hearts knew my pain
And could take it away with one embrace

But when I told her of my love,
This damned Joker laughed at me,
Saying that Cards couldn't love me,
Just think that I was friendly.

My Jacq of Hearts was supposed to be
My Full House, or at least my Pair.
But she was only my Kicker,
And to win this hand, I would need a prayer.

But I stayed in the game
And I kept my Card
Knowing she wouldn't be a Pair
But to let her go would be too hard.

And now I'm All In with no hope
And all I have now is my Kicker to hold.
If my Jacq of Hearts would just be my Pair,
I would have a reason not to fold.

I've been toying around with the idea for a little while now. It's far from perfect, but I figured I'd let Newgrounds have first crack at it

I absolutely love the way you follow that card theme. Maybe make it a bit less in-your-face by de-capitalizing all the words unnecessarily; have it as more of a subtle, if-you-get-this-it's-awesome thing.
The actual theme and the overall content is fantastic, though.
