John Rhinem Poet I do not know?

{...."monopoly"....}

Milton Bradly....

Condos castles etched in accretions dye along

The boardwalks flower made sorbitol scenes

Number twenty-twos scented sunrises, pastel piers

Neon lights enticing dreamscopes of, breathe....

The box-cars mundane roulette wheels

Spinning mirages of polyesters white gloved, hopes

Let it ride; everything I own upon, number twelve

Moonglow glazed margarita rainbows for, you and I

Cinderella, she folds....

"Games," lots and lots of, games!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Audrey Haick October 20, 2010 at 12:58 PM "Monopoly", master game..mimics real life, plays with your dreams, builds you up to frenzy delight, only to leave you broke, no cash! ..it gets boring afte a while. But fun game for a time. Love to you John, Audrey

Carolyn Devonshire October 19, 2010 at 11:16 AM When we were kids, we used to call this game "Monotony," but your description of it is so creative, John! I love that line "Moonglow glazed margarita rainbows..." On snow holidays we would spend hours playing this game and nobody ever won. Maybe the same can be said of lives -- when we play games, we usually lose. Great work, John! Love, Carolyn

Diane Locksley October 19, 2010 at 10:28 AM The Monopoly game is one that never seems to end, at least it didn't at our house when I was growing up. But you make the game sound like the journey of life. Very nice, John!
