This is my main collab creation for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. Angel Love’s line was “I flipped a coin into the air.”

THE COINS OF FATE

I flipped a coin high into the air.
It came down and landed in my hair.
That was just my luck, I swear.
Now I have cash in my hair to spare!

I’ll spin on my head and you’ll lose all fears.
Together we’ll break through new frontiers.
Now that would be a grand head stand.
Proving fate is often so unplanned.

A coin with two heads would be much better,
beating fate with a double header!
Maybe two portraits of a Berfle named Ferd.
and on each side a poetical word.

Or just flip a quarter and watch where it lands.
Don’t worry, worry just swells up your glands.
You can’t beat that deal with a hammer called sledge.
Unless, with my luck, it lands on it’s edge.

The giddy gamblers who risked a line: (Angel Love (2), Bettie (4), Diane, tony (4).
