1. ZING. 😉

   • 🙂

2. These be addicting, yes?

   • They are… 🙂

3. I love the first stanza. The rest is just sad. 😦 Women must always remember that they are nothing more than toys, to boys. And that’s why they should get presents. (I feel like we’ve had this conversation before.)

   • I fully agree… 🙂 but there are too many men who think otherwise

     • And what do they think?

     • About themselves

4. Are these your toys? My son has the one in the middle, also missing a tire

   • Alas not.. They are truly cool though

5. Oh, sometimes the power of poetry is to make you angry 🙂 I really admire you for weaving such powerful tales that make one think and stir up people’s emotions, with a form that seems so complicated to me personally.

   • You should try the form.

6. Chaa ching 😛

7. Thanks for introducing me to the sevenling. All three of your sevenling poems are wonderful – it’s hard to pick a favorite. I might just give the form a try – though, I can see where it could be very addictive!

   • Wendy, do join us over at dVerse! They are addicting. Betcha can’t write just one. 😉

8. Ha, and consequences increase with age as well!

   • Amen to THAT, Mary. Some of us girls take our toys and go home. 😉

9. Those toys get expensive and demanding too ~ Enjoyed them all Bjorn 🙂

10. You’re on a roll, Bjorn…

11. Oh, isn’t that the truth!

12. Indeed. Everything is changing, including us, I’m afraid.

13. Too, too true! I remember, not too long ago, buying myself a toy train set from a pavement vendor. A fellow artist understood and played along. Not that it will take only artists to understand these things. Anyone with a playful soul would.

14. They surely do!
    Anna :o]

15. whew. what a double entendre in that final line ~

16. *Grin.*

17. I feel sorry for that boy. His dad doesn’t sound like much of a winner.
