Lost Marbles

L unar influences on my mind
O ften make my senses all go blind
S anity takes a vacation break
T ranquility inside is now at stake

M y balanced nature is thrown askew
A nd I no longer know the truths I knew
R ambling is my spoken tongue
B elievable reality all comes undone
L ook inside my head and see
E mptiness where marbles used to be
S ans of all my sanity

The word Marbles drew me in. However you through me a curve, using marbles in a way I did not expect. Good job. BTW I have some of the marbles I had as a lad back in the 1930s

I love that you took the humorous approach. I was thinking of looking up phrases with the word Lost (until my own idea for lost love came to me) I may have very well have tried writing on lost marbles too. I sure have enough of them!!! congrats on win.
