Poker
From the Civil War to the Wild West saloons
The modern game of poker
Cheered speculative betters and soggy platoons
Balm for the melancholy joker
Tool for the playwright's adventure
School to a mind that's maturing
Group play for the more mature
What ever point is most alluring
Is the reason the game still endures

Author's Note
This was originally an exercise in taking the new idea of the day (I don't remember exactly why I looked up the history of poker, but it became my topic of the day that way) and expressing a poetic sentiment about it, a thing I have more or less time to do each day depending on my life.
