Haiku Challenge for March 4: ‘Bet’

Today’s haiku challenge:

Today's @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word 'bet' in it….

— baffled (@baffled) March 4, 2021

My style is the five/seven/five syllable structure. Here are my five haiku poems:

bet on depression
like gambling with a deck of
flaming joker cards.

bet on depression
to arrive like dew in the
morning, but thicker.

bet on depression
hovering above you like
an odorless gas.

bet on depression
running the table on you
eating the woodchips.

bet on depression
standing tall in the end while
you’re fertilizer.
