Bubbled Over



I have a thing for bubbles, I could watch them constantly,

I love to see them, big or small, drift off away from me,

Sparkly iridescent—catching sunlight as they float,

They’re so carefree, and friendly-like, not angry, not remote,

And yet, their lives are short, they neither toil, nor do they spin,

But still make an impression—even adults sport a grin!

Sometimes, I’d like to be one, floating up so happily,

A shining, gleaming bubble all would recognize as me,

I’d fly across the neighbourhood, I’d never want to stop,

There’s just one thing, I hope that I would never have to ‘POP’!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So KarenCharlotteMimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next Week's topic, what a blast!
Bikinis—YES—to clothe your . . . behind.

  2. I adore bubbles too. I am waiting anxiously for our winter to get cold enough to allow me to freeze them - which can prolong their lives for hours...

  3. I used to love blowing bubbles when my son was young. Not sure why I stopped after he grew older. I sure did love watching those bubbles. You brought back memories.

    1. I love to read and write poetry so I am glad I came across this post. On a side note, who doesn't like bubble? They bring out the happy little kid in all of us.

  4. I don't know anyone who doesn't love bubbles. I'm thinking of buying a bubble blow kit, so I can blow bubbles for the neighbour toddler who likes to walk around in my garden.

  5. Oh, I love your poem, and soap bubbles. I always swear to remember to freeze some, and always forget. Maybe this year thanks for hosting.

  6. Love it! Yes, it would be nice, sometimes, to float like a bubble, nice and carefree.
