Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 124 #SynonymsOnly

My synonyms for Game and Trouble are Play and Tumult.

I have attempted a nonet

Tides

The die cast on the chequered board,

Rolled by Tides in the play of life,

To give what is preordained,

Braving the Fates tumult,

You ride the tempest,

To drown again,

Defiant,

Buoyed,

Now!
