| Posted by Cathlyn Cartier on 11/01/02 at 04:14 PM I haven't seen your marbles, and haven't any to spare. I've lost quite a few myself, if you should happen to see them (in all shades of purple, blue and green), would you set them aside for me? I really loved this poem! |

| Posted by Don Coffman on 08/21/03 at 07:45 AM Very amusing with a solid, classic form and rhyme. Really well done. :) |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 08/22/03 at 07:28 AM the first four lines caught me and i slipped on my marbles and fell down and have been laughing ruefully ever since..nice, nutty departure |
| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 09/02/03 at 05:30 PM *DIES LAUGHING* this is so freaking awesome. i seriously wish i would have written it. i hate rhyme most of the time (heh heh. catch the pun? i rock) but in this case, it suits it. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 05/19/04 at 03:35 AM Touchy subject, clever approach. Your ever present, sharpened wit proves that this amazing piece is nowhere near autobiographical. Bedlam? I love it.
Pe4ce... |

| Posted by John Nivel on 06/19/05 at 01:38 PM The trick to not losing one's marbles is to have all cat's eye marbles! They find its owner, if lost. |
| Posted by Dave Fitzgerald on 08/01/05 at 06:31 PM I liked this a lot, made me smile and that's always a good thing eh?

| Posted by Laura Doom on 05/30/07 at 11:19 PM So - what's the problem with clichés then?
(Don't answer that :) |
| Posted by Meghan Helmich on 06/10/08 at 08:17 PM i'm rarely amused by rhymes. congrats, you managed it :) |
| Posted by Michael Smith on 07/30/09 at 08:02 PM Your charm and playful nature is well exhibited in this work, Kristine. You certainly got a chuckle out of me! I especially liked your word-choice of "vamoose."

| Posted by Carol Grant on 08/07/10 at 12:26 AM Oh my I loved this...so easy to read and understand. Too phunnie, I laughed right out loud. If you get to bedlam before me would you look for about 50 light orange marbles with white in the middle. Those would be mine and I really need them. [chuckles] |
| Posted by Angela Stevens on 08/15/11 at 09:09 PM This was great to read and made me smile. One for the favourites! |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 01/02/12 at 10:07 AM Ok, Ok, Ok! This one goes into my favorites list. How in the heck did I ever miss your work? A very funny poesie on a very serious subject. 25 years ago my psychiatrist would have gotten a kick out of this. But I got over my depression and sometimes forget it is good to bleed, especially for a writer of songs and poetry which I use to be much better at(Sorry for the dangling preposition)! HAHAHA! |
| Posted by Angela Stevens on 04/14/13 at 02:16 PM I loved reading this again after so long! :) |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/17/15 at 01:39 PM marbles are overrated, albeit I give this ode and the heart it took to write it the highest rating. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 02/24/15 at 03:47 PM This is hilarious! Glad to have read it. Creative and whimsical. Congrats on POTD! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/24/15 at 06:08 PM Congratulations on POTD Kristine. Long overdue and well deserved! :) |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 02/24/15 at 09:32 PM Congrats on POTD, Kristine! This poem is marble-ous, simply marble-ous! |
