Let's Play Marbles
Freckles lightly sprinkled
A little toothless smile
A bag of colored marbles
Rolled out to play awhile
A circle drawn in the dirt
Tussled hair on one knee
Shooters behind thumbs
Knocking out pee wees
Cat eyes start to chase
A steely joins the game
Devil’s eyes and mashers
Then the boulders came
A free for all in the dirt
A circle of great friends
A collection of marbles
A circle that never ends
Marbles throughout time
Found in ancient pyramids
Puries and sapphire wonders
A game to make kids, just kids

~I Bet King Tut Played Marbles~
I wish kids would get off the couch and go outside and play marbles. That would be great. Even swinging a yo-yo would be fun. Once a kid, always a kid.
Thanks for checking in Ron.
Warm regards,
Kathy
fun poem
Never played marbles, but I enjoy throwing them under peoples' feet and trying to trip them up. Smart and enjoyable poem, Kathy. I liked reading it.
~Marbled Floors~
Marbles under people's feet is not a bad idea. Marbles could be the next weapon of mass destruction.
I feel like some marbled fudge. You're cute Mr. Neocon.
Warm regards,
Kathy

Thank you for sharing!
Take care,
Mark
~A Marble Party Would Be Fun~
After playing marbles, we could swing on that old tire hooked to the oak tree. Oh to be young.
Thanks for being so sweet Mark.
Warm regards,
