I like how you use a methapor and how you say
'life is a gamble.' And an excellent Nanni contest entry using the 25 syllables with meaningful words.
Best to you in the contest.

A very well-written Naani about using metaphors to spice up a story that can make it more interesting to the reader to speculate what the writer means by his word play in his writings.

You're hilarious. You have a great sense of humor. Good rhyming with gamble-preamble and dance-chance. Good alliteration with gamble-game. Good play on metaphors with one example. Clever. I enjoyed reading your poem. Nice work. Good luck in the contest :)

I would edit the last period to an exclaimation mark for sarcasm. Take it or leave it.

Yes I like the proposition posed- and especially the final line - it's lighthearted and reflective all at the same time - and that's an achievement-thanks for sharing

Is life a gamble ALWAYS? What risks are you urging the reader to take? And what is it a "preamble" to? Take a bit more time to clarify your message. Is this the kind of advice a child should listen to?

You have been very skilful in combining rhyming with your observation on life's possibilities in an admirable economy of well-chosen words. Well done.

I like the way you use your metaphors here to build up the bigger picture and message. The question I think works well, to break up the metaphors and draws in the reader to think about it themselves before delivering the final message.

I loved the poem, but I don't know about the title because the poem isn't about metaphors. It instead is all metaphors, and that's something I love. Keep up your creative writing for sure.
