Marbles In A Jar Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Marbles In A Jar

Rating: 5.0


Stored on a shelf
In the garage
Is a canning jar
With a screwed on lid

Contained within are
Glass marbles
Of various sizes
Many are opaque
Some have clarity…
Many have
elongated pupils
Peering back

With playful laughter
You must have been
A regular kid
With simple joys
How times changed
As years accumulated

Like these marbles…
Hordes of memories
A collection stored
In my canning jar
Many glass globes
Have eyes that
Reveal days of joy

A few have been chipped
From being flung
There is one
When observed
Turns the world
Upside down
It is concealed deep
Within the marbles
Of my recollection
