marble on the move
to the rings edge and beyond
just beat the boys again

Okay, I'll play to win one
No matter what you say
Life as a marble would rock....

Eyes wrapped around
Bubbles of color
A glass encased world.

Shooter hits it's prey
The clash of the glass titans
Lesser marbles gone

Keep on rollin round,
Knockin all the others out.
Don't lose your marbles!

Would I dare to throw
a Mike, made me write haiku,
E, marble? No way.

Round and round and round,
Never an end within sight,
Roll eternally.

ribbons of color
in spheres of transparency
galaxies in glass

Smooth, round perfection
rolling across the pavement
*plink* it hits the wall

Ages of knowledge
Gazing peacefully at me
In the Dragons eye

Mike he was my First
Marble supplier wee Fool
Green round glass roll Me

Molten gravity
In spherical perfection
Marble being born

Molecules at play
Shifting, settling, resting
Roll, roll, roll marble!

Clutched in young hands
Mesmerizing glass spheres
Youthful treasures

Cold, stiff, lifeless, then
Molten in delivery.
Cold but alive now.

Eye of fire staring
Watching from within it's sphere
Boring through my soul

I peer into the
cold round orb hoping to see
a small world inside.

Favorite marble
kept deep within his pocket
it brings luck and joy

A marble of glass
Rolls by a signature chip
To put your eye out

Heavenly glass spheres
Reflect the beauty of life
Trees Flowers and Sun

Heavenly glass Sphere
Reflect the image of beer
Damn who took my beer?

Collection sparkles
Sun lit as if from within
Safe inside the jar

Perfect globes of glass
Most marbles roll straight and true
Mine come back to me.

Transparent frozen
orb, crystaline, revealing
shimmering rainbows.

Tiger eyed marble
Illumination of glass
Let my paint brush catch.

Smooth and cool to touch
I turn and peer, discover
no punty mark here!

marble moon morning
pink sunrise, ocean viewing
playing at daybreak

marble morning sky
above lemon horizon
fading into blue

Share your clues with me
Mike makes dragon eyes that roll Where's the million bucks?

Exploding marble.
Broken heart.
I annealed it wrong.

Senselessly staring
Eyes abound, rooting through souls
Soar through distant lands

Watchful eyes in Glass
In the shadow of Magic
Dragons see and Do

Mine for the taking
What do you say about that?
mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

Is there a mini
me deep inside this marble?
My doppelganger?

No hole, no loop, so
What am I supposed to do
Carry it all day?

Who said you could steal
Light? Who gave you permission?
Are you a scofflaw?

Balled glass spinning
Curved colors colliding
Crash then cast out

Hot dirt devils blow,
My heart beats wild rhythms,
Orange marble hits one out.

not good at haiku
but i will make one for you
for just one marble

Smooth corners contain
rolling hills of bright color
swirls of distinction

onward wayward slow
motion rollin to and fro
gazing ever glow

Marbles O Marbles
wanting me to take you too
mike must send me you

An old toy for kids
Amazing art form within
Childhood come alive

colors glow with light
in internal worlds i live
seeking truth inside

Water on Mars. Who cares?
Study this marble for me.
Is there life inside?

Rose petal smoothness,
Yet almost hard as diamonds.
Deep enough to swim.

marbles in the jar
rest from time and youthful play
images of my dad

The moment two marbles
are rolling, they both collide.
A tigers eye.

lickable roundness
most acceptable baldness
marvelous marble

curvilinear
echoes of the seasons passed
childhood recaptured

shiny orbs of joy
reflected in little eyes
the whole world in hand

forged of glass and fire
shaped by skillful hand and tool
all to roll away

Who said a marble can
be loved by only kidlets??
We adults have a clue!!

Marbles, marbles, round
There is no end within sight
They are the earth, round.

Molten glass, round as orb
What mysteries do you hold?
Can you show me please!!

One haiku, Mike E's
marble price. I'd have obliged
with a sonnet thrice.

"Write me a haiku,
And my marble's for you!"
But haikus are too tough me.

Lens trained upon the
gaping midnight sky. Clues from
a glass dimension.

Burn bright torch
when inspiration strikes!
With flowing glass

Mystical glass orbs
They roll, clink mesmerize me
Endless wonderment

Heavenly glass sphere
Galaxies collide, once, twice
Outside the line -- mine.

Rhyming timing - It's
All behind. Need a swift kick
In the glass - NOT jobs.......

Little world in glass
who will fondle you today
Mike E, marble Me!

All right, you steelies,
the glass has set and you can now,
stop your shattering.

 With a thumbing roll
a ground streaks of glass
on a quiet marble slab.

Leaving its thumb,
the marble rolls a second,
then pockets its winnings.

Circle drawn clearly
center sparkles in the sun
taste of summer dust

the eye of the storm
in the palm of your hand
one world in a sphere

unquestionable
rhapsody, desire, want, wish
marble fancy

SPHERICAL DELIGHT
BETWEEN MY FINGER AND THUMB
ORBITAL DAY DREAM

Long forgotten youth
Marbles in a dusty jar
Bring back memories

The torch is too cool
My marble is lopsided
Oh, just forget it

cinders, ashes, dust
gathered from the distant stars
man and glass are one

neverending, one
forever in finite space
balance, harmony

solid liquid glass
amorphous composition
in constant motion

hey stay where you are
do not roll away from me
i have plans for you

This is based on an early childhood memory (~3 yrs old) playing with a steel marble:

my mouth the car wash
vroom vroom marble go go go
uh oh wrong turn gulp

My Fair Lady:
does the rain in Spain
fall mainly on the plain when
marbles are in Liza's mouth

heat heat and gather
roll it in a graphite mold
pollish punty mark

dichro magnified
why is it called a blinger
only time has told

Marble formed of fire
Conceived by the masters hand
Perfect symmetry

haiku shmaiku is
what I say, I'd prefer a
marble any day

I made one today,
though it turned out all wonky,
Ill remelt it tomorrow.

one entry you say?
I have many things to say.
I make marbles everyday.

some big some little,
some have color most are clear,
Use glass, not plastic.

Once a childhood toy
Still brings happiness and joy
As fish tank gravel

Free of holes and loops
Unchainable, no threading
Marble needs pocket!

Roll my ball of glass
Around the world and return
Come home to my palm

The dust bunnies flee
A bit of heaven rolls by
Lost behind the couch

Torch time is over
Must go get the nintendo
Play marble madness

Liquid glass flows free
Art, pure imagination
The glass ball strikes quick

The world is in flames
Colors add definition
The pulsar master

My brother taught me
to play when playing was hard
and parents argued.

roll, roll, roll away
roll to the farthest corners
then roll safely home

What's in my marble?
My secret ingrediants
What's in your marble?

waste time on the web,
I should be making marbles
why do I do this?

On bended knee
I beg and plead with Mike Eeee
"Please give to me Eeeeeee!"-

Waa Waa Boo hoo hoo,
didnt win with my Haiku
have to start a' new.

Thank you very much
For you choosing my Haiku
Prize is a nice touch!
