Don’t you think AI art really helps illustrate my poetry? Check out this excerpt from 'I Got A Deal For You.' It's in my first volume 'A Pocketful of Poems'.

We both know life’s a game of chance with winners and losers, and we’re a pair of dice thrown by drunken gods playing the odds.

We hit the table hoping for snake eyes and bust out when the toss turns otherwise. We’re survivors, then, you and I who try and keep our faces to the sun. Clutching faith

and what’s left of broken hearts and loves we hold on, praying for moments of grace.
