{...."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!?

"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

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

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!
