Dear Alan,

I have the following sample (as I wrote, this is addictive ;-)):

   \startMPpage
     draw fullcircle scaled (.06TextWidth - .05LineHeight);

     for m=1 step 2 until 10 :
         path s ; s := (dir30--dir150--dir315--dir90--dir225--cycle)
             scaled m;
         n := (m * 50) ;
         o := (m / 5) ;
         for i=0 upto n :
           draw textext("\utfchar{"EB09}")
             scaled (o * .025) shifted point (i/n*length s) of s ;
         endfor
     endfor
   \stopMPpage

reusing a picture is more efficient

\startMPpage
    draw fullcircle scaled (.06TextWidth - .05LineHeight);
    picture t ; t := textext("\cldcontext{utf.char(0xEB09)}") ;
    for m=1 step 2 until 10 :
path s ; s := (dir30--dir150--dir315--dir90--dir225--cycle) scaled m;
        n := (m * 50) ;
        o := (m / 5) ;
        for i=0 upto n :
          draw t scaled (o * .025) shifted point (i/n*length s) of s ;
        endfor
    endfor
\stopMPpage
