MrsMopar Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thought it would be fun to get a marble poem going and anyone is welcome to contribute. You can add one or more lines but please try to rhyme. I'll start it off: I like marbles, old and new Purple, pink, red and blue There's ones with lutz and aventurine Whose sparkle looks so very keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (Side note: I enjoyed everyone's post. I actually cried because it touched me.

Bo44 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Marble composite poem Started on Memorial day (May 25th), 2009 Entries made by 11 people to date (May, 29th, 2009) I like marbles, old & new Purple, pink, red & blue There’s one with Lutz & Aventurine Whose sparkle looks so very keen Small & big & in between All the ones in my dreams I like ones that come in bags Even with the old price tags I have some nice ones The eyes they do not hurt Took a lot of work to get them Because they came from the dirt I like Pelts, they draw my eye I like to look, I like to buy Extra money, I’m ebay bound To see what treasures can be found The beat up shooters, what tales they could share Of the kids who triumphed while in their care Games like keepers and ringer Long ago played Lost many a marble to the old school house maid Oxblood’s, cateye’s, flames “n” swirl’s Who says marbles ain’t for girls ! New or old, big or small I love ‘em & collect them all Jabo, Vacor “n” all the rest German swirls are still the best. When I see a Rainbo bright It fills me up with such delight Then the corkscrew, with its twist is one of the fun ones on my list. Jackson Marbles are the best, nobody likes them and that’s are that are left! Carroll was his name. But he earned little fame. His marbles were not great sellers. And though his business was tragic, his marbles were magic. Especially when the lights came on The bottle of marbles at Grand ma's house was always a source of my attention. She'd let me look but never play they were her's won from year's of competition's My aunt's and uncle's would never say but I found out grandma was a "shooter" in her day. Even my dad lost a few to grand ma's collection seems they all learned one of life's lesson's. Never think your the best around someone else wants to wear that crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
