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

Never fear: 'Los marbles' preceded 'Los Angeles.' :) gw

Giggles ;), I get poked for always writing short, I polish and polish till I find just the words that shine, just how my narly noggin rolls. (mine's broken from too many concussions) 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

Amen to that my friend. XOmo!

Did my poem inspire this? Lol... I lost my marbles a long time ago....

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 8/21/2019 8:06:00 AM

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