    Take the time to read Brenda's very good poems about taking a chance. There are 3 poems in response to Week 51 by Brenda Arledge. There is an acrostic poem, a beautiful poem about love and a poem about a lady who bought a lottery ticket.

      Brenda, your poems are awesome with various messages which I liked. They were a great response to your own prompt, "Chance." I loved the quotes and images too. Thank you for sharing.

        Thank you.
        It seems like I'm starting to get back in the hang of things.

        Let's hope.

      Hello Brenda!
      Excellent response to the word prompt, Chance! It's only, after the opportunity is missed, do we realize, that we should have grabbed the chance!
      It's difficult for some people to come out of the comfort zone!
      Thank you for sharing the wonderful set of poems! I throughly enjoyed reading it!
      Thanks for sharing!
      Thanks Pamela!

        That is true.  Sometimes we don't realize the opportunity until it's gone.

        The glad you enjoyed these poems.

        Take care and have a nice day.

    Lovely poems Brenda. I loved all the three, the last one a little more because it has a beautiful message, never to give up hope but keep trying to fulfill your dreams. The videos and quotes are also great and so are the pictures. Thanks Pamela for sharing.

    Bredz, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your response to the word prompt "chance." All of the poems are incredibly beautiful. Every detail in life begins with one chance. That is absolutely true! Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful poems with us.

    Thanks Pamela for sharing Brenda's work.

    Many Blessings and Love to both of you!!

      Life is a maze with lots of chances staring us in the face...just waiting for us.

    Thanks Pamela for sharing Brenda's poems about taking chances.  One never knows how and when that next chance might come along.  In that last poem, I think many people dream about helping others if we hit a large lottery payout.  It is fun to dream!

      You are so right.  We make those plans in our head before we ever see if we win.
      It would be nice to hit it once.

    A fine trio of poems covering various different aspects of chance. We all hold hope of one day winning a lottery..even if we don’t buy a ticket haha. Great job on your prompt “chance.”

      I'm glad you enjoyed these ones.

      Yeah...the dreams of winning that lottery are quite real

      Right now they are having one where 10 players each week automatically win $10,000.00 & that's without even getting picked for the game show.
      It's exciting, if you can get the right symbol on ticket to be in the drawing.
