Los Marbles

polishing pieces
                               fragments of a broken brain

                                       spinning poetry

Intriguing concept "polishing pieces of a broken brain" Love it. Made me stop and think. Thanks for engaging my brain!

Thank you Tim! It's how I roll ;), Did you know, the brain is the only part of your body that will not tell you it is broken. This past year has been a fascinating journey of discovery. Hugs! xomo

I used to play quite a bit. Get my bonker out; my favorite cat's eye, and steely. But I always disliked playing keepers; never wanting to lose my marbles. Wait a minute... I've already lost a few Maureen.

Yes, I've dropped quite a few along the way. Your poetry is my doctor Maureen. Thank you.

My ruby bonker was my favourite. This past year has been all about finding my lost marbles ;), xomo!

We all lose a few as we go through life, nothing to worry about. Just keep pushing the pen till you keel over, that's my plan of action anyway. Tom

If it did I don't remember ;), I apparently did too, just finding them now. xomo! <3
