Marbles Poem by Harlan Simantel

Marbles

Rating: 5.0


she wanted to play marbles
i didn't
i rolled her a marble at a time
she accepted each one
didn't roll any of hers back

i kept rolling my favorite but ordinary
marble to her
and she kept rolling it back
wouldn't accept it
didn't like it i guess

a new player entered the scene
with a shiny big marble
he rolled it to her
she smiled and accepted it

i told her i didn't like playing marbles anymore
she didn't say a word
i got up and left
never saw her again

i never did like playing marbles
