Really, we seem to have lost our marbles, those simple, innocent games of the yore, very well said

Interesting work. I am not sure if you were writing about the old game of marbles or not but if so creative way to use the idea. Congrats on this winner. Sara

Big Planetary marbles spinning around in the Milky Way, lost in the vastness of an insane universe, we alone destroy our little ball of creation, cheers David

As good a commentary on these crazy times as I've read anywhere -- and all in a few words. Brevity speaks volumes, my friend! A FAVE! Thanks, Gershon

Maureen, as a kid I had a cat's eye, but someone used a steely and won it. They would never play me back for it. Never. Your poetry is brilliant!!! Thank you so much Maureen...

Bonkers also rhymes with Conkers, another game where one gets a head? Enjoyed, Mo! Aloha! Rico

The conundrum of the marbles ponders the question: "Who is making best use of what they have? He who has 100% of his marbles and uses only 78% of them or he who has only 78% of his marbles and is using 100% of them?"
