I Got New Dice
by Belinda Roddie

I got new dice from a dear friend, and so
I must show them off to you all at once!
Observe the green and purple swirl, a glow
so fantastical that even a dunce
can admire its sheen. Let's see if I can roll
some rather high numbers so I can own
the foes I confront, be they gnome or troll
or orc or human or elf. It is known
that a nat twenty makes a victory
in most scenarios, and so I strive
to make this new set of homemade pretties
a harbinger of triumph on the grind!
And so, roll on, my friends! I shall meet thee
within the realm of war: Ready, be ye.
